Averaged across 19696 certificates in SE25, the current rating of 64.2 could rise to about 77.2 out of 100. The estimated annual heating cost averages £558 now, and about £367 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.
