Energy efficiency chart This property’s current energy rating is C with a score of 73. It has a potential energy rating of C with a score of 78.

The graph shows this property’s current and potential energy rating.

Properties get a rating from A (best) to G (worst) and a score. The better the rating and score, the lower your energy bills are likely to be.

For properties in England and Wales:

  • the average energy rating is D
  • the average energy score is 60

Breakdown of property’s energy performance

Features in this property

Features get a rating from very good to very poor, based on how energy efficient they are. Ratings are not based on how well features work or their condition.

Assumed ratings are based on the property's age and type. They are used for features the assessor could not inspect.

Feature Description Rating
Wall Cavity wall, as built, no insulation (assumed) Poor
Window Fully double glazed Good
Main heating Boiler and radiators, mains gas Good
Main heating control Programmer and room thermostat Average
Hot water From main system Good
Lighting Low energy lighting in 50% of fixed outlets Good
Roof (another dwelling above) N/A
Floor Suspended, no insulation (assumed) N/A
Secondary heating None N/A

Primary energy use

The primary energy use for this property per year is 166 kilowatt hours per square metre (kWh/m2).

What is primary energy use?

Primary energy use is a measure of the energy required for lighting, heating and hot water in a property. The calculation includes:

  • the efficiency of the property’s heating system
  • power station efficiency for electricity
  • the energy used to produce the fuel and deliver it to the property

Additional information

  • Dwelling may be exposed to wind-driven rain

How this affects your energy bills

An average household would need to spend £451 per year on heating, hot water and lighting in this property. These costs usually make up the majority of your energy bills.

You could save £84 per year if you complete the suggested steps for improving this property’s energy rating.

This is based on average costs in 2014 when this EPC was created. People living at the property may use different amounts of heating, hot water and lighting.


Heating this property

Estimated energy needed in this property is:

  • 4,281 kWh per year for heating

Environmental impact of this property

This property’s current environmental impact rating is C. It has the potential to be B.

Properties get a rating from A (best) to G (worst) on how much carbon dioxide (CO2) they produce each year. CO2 harms the environment.

Carbon emissions

An average household produces
6 tonnes of CO2
This property produces
1.6 tonnes of CO2
This property’s potential production
1.2 tonnes of CO2

You could improve this property’s CO2 emissions by making the suggested changes. This will help to protect the environment.

These ratings are based on assumptions about average occupancy and energy use. People living at the property may use different amounts of energy.

Changes you could make

Do I need to follow these steps in order?

Yes. Each step builds on the one before it so you can save the most energy.

For example, it’s more energy efficient to insulate your home before you buy a new boiler. A well insulated home will lose less heat so you do not have to run your boiler as often.

Paying for energy improvements

You might be able to get a grant from the Boiler Upgrade Scheme. This will help you buy a more efficient, low carbon heating system for this property.

Type of assessment
Show information about the RdSAP
RdSAP (Reduced data Standard Assessment Procedure) is a method used to assess and compare the energy and environmental performance of properties in the UK. It uses a site visit and survey of the property to calculate energy performance.

This type of assessment can be carried out on properties built before 1 April 2008 in England and Wales, and 30 September 2008 in Northern Ireland. It can also be used for newer properties, as long as they have a previous SAP assessment, which uses detailed information about the property’s construction to calculate energy performance.
