Averaged across 14118 certificates in N3, the current rating of 66.2 could rise to about 74.9 out of 100. The estimated annual heating cost averages £652 now, and about £460 after the recommended work – an estimated saving of roughly £191 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.
