Everything above describes a typical property of this kind, using published energy certificate statistics. Your own figures will differ — often substantially, since floor area alone varies by a factor of three between areas.

We cannot price most of this work: there is no published cost dataset we can stand behind for insulation or heat pumps, so the savings above come with no payback. How we work these out.
