The realistic uplift

Each energy certificate lists the improvements an assessor recommends and the rating the home would reach if they were done. Averaged across 595 certificates in IG9, the current rating of 61.4 could rise to about 75.8 out of 100. The estimated annual heating cost averages £834 now, and about £586 after the recommended work – an estimated saving of roughly £248 a year.

These are the register's own estimates, averaged across many homes; the figure for any one property depends on its fabric and how it is heated.
