Energy improvement potential
Recommended improvements for this property
Measures from this home’s official Energy Performance Certificate assessment that could raise its rating and cut running costs, specific to FLAT 6, CORDUBA MEWS, 34 ALEXANDRA ROAD SOUTH, MANCHESTER, M16 8HZ.
- 1Replace boiler with new condensing boilerIndicative cost: £2,200 - £3,000
A condensing boiler is capable of much higher efficiencies than other types of boiler, meaning it will burn less fuel to heat this property. This improvement is most appropriate when the existing central heating boiler needs repair or replacement, but there may be exceptional circumstances making this impractical. Condensing boilers need a drain for the condensate which limits their location; remember this when considering remodelling the room containing the existing boiler even if the latter is to be retained for the time being (for example a kitchen makeover). It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer. Ask the engineer to explain the options.
- 2Upgrade heating controlsIndicative cost: £350 - £450
A room thermostat will increase the efficiency of the heating system by enabling the boiler to switch off when no heat is required; this will reduce the amount of energy used and lower fuel bills. Thermostatic radiator valves should also be installed, to allow the temperature of each room to be controlled to suit individual needs, adding to comfort and reducing heating bills provided internal doors are kept closed. For example, they can be set to be warmer in the living room and bathroom than in the bedrooms. Ask a competent heating engineer to install thermostatic radiator valves and a fully pumped system with the pump and the boiler turned off by the room thermostat. Thermostatic radiator valves should be fitted to every radiator except for the radiator in the same room as the room thermostat. Remember the room thermostat is needed as well as the thermostatic radiator valves, to enable the boiler to switch off when no heat is required. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified heating engineer.

Common questions
How much does a replacement boiler cost for a property like this?+
For this property we estimate an installed cost of £1,900–£3,200. This is indicative and based on the property's size, type and energy characteristics — your final price depends on equipment choice and an installer survey.
What size boiler might this property need?+
Our preliminary model estimates a heat requirement of around 1.5–2 kW. An installer confirms exact sizing on a heat-loss assessment.
How much would air conditioning cost here?+
A multi-split installation is estimated at £3,800–£5,700, depending on how many rooms you want to cool (around 3 indoor units in a typical layout).
Are these guaranteed prices?+
No — they are indicative estimates to help you understand likely costs before speaking to an installer. Your final price depends on equipment choice, installation complexity and a survey.
