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 MELTON, NORTHWICH ROAD, ANTROBUS, NORTHWICH, WARRINGTON, WA4 4PH.
- 1Solar photovoltaic panels, 2.5 kWpIndicative cost: £8,000 - £10,000
A solar PV system is one which converts light directly into electricity via panels placed on the roof with no waste and no emissions. This electricity is used throughout the home in the same way as the electricity purchased from an energy supplier. The British Photovoltaic Association has up-to-date information on local installers who are qualified electricians. It is best to obtain advice from a qualified electrician. Ask the electrician to explain the options.
- 2Flue gas heat recovery in conjunction with boilerIndicative cost: £900 - £1,500
A flue gas heat recovery system extracts heat from the boiler flue gases and transfers it to the incoming cold water so that the boiler needs to supply less heat. It is suitable for use only with a modern condensing gas boiler and should be fitted when a replacement boiler is installed.
- 3Replace boiler with new condensing boilerIndicative cost: £2,200 - £3,500
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.
- 4Heat recovery system for mixer showersIndicative cost: £600 - £1,500
A shower heat recovery system extracts heat from the water in the shower drain and transfers it to incoming cold water. This reduces the amount of energy needed per shower.
