Where your heat goes

The heat loss card in plain words, driven by query-shaped fixtures through the same rules the results page uses, so every label here is the real one. The links print which improvement they would open, because there is no report to scroll to.

Facts from the certificate, with linked improvements

A 2014 certificate gives the walls, roof, windows and floor. Cavity wall, loft and draught lines link to the report; solar does not link to the roof, and the unknown saving is left out.

Where your heat goes

Your walls are likely the main way heat leaves your home.

Based on facts about your walls, roof and windows. Your home's exact shape and how draughty it is are still assumed.

  1. Walls

    The biggest share

    If your cavity walls are empty, they let a lot of heat straight through.

    What to do: Get the cavity checked. An installer can look inside with a small camera, and fill it if it's empty.

    From your EPC certificate from 2014

  2. Windows

    A fair share

    Even good windows lose more heat than an insulated wall.

    What to do: Usually not the first job. Check the seals, draught-strip the frames and use heavy curtains.

    From your EPC certificate from 2014

  3. Draughts and air

    A fair share

    Warm air escapes through gaps, and cold air comes in.

    What to do: Seal gaps around pipes, skirting boards and the loft hatch. Keep vents and extractor fans working, because your home still needs fresh air.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  4. Floor

    A small share

    Some heat goes down through the floor, especially if there are gaps.

    What to do: Seal gaps between skirting boards and the floor. If you have a suspended floor, ask about insulating it from below.

    From your EPC certificate from 2014

  5. Cold spots

    A small share

    Heat escapes where walls, floors and windows meet.

    What to do: Not a job on its own. Ask your installer to treat these while they're insulating.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  6. Roof

    A small share

    Heat rises, so a thinly insulated loft loses a lot of it.

    What to do: A top-up to 270mm is usually a simple job.

    From your EPC certificate from 2014

Mixed: some facts, some assumed

Windows and loft depth are the homeowner's answers; the walls are assumed from the age, so the headline says "may be". Three of the rows link.

Where your heat goes

Your walls may be the main way heat leaves your home.

Based partly on facts about your home, and partly on its age and type.

  1. Walls

    The biggest share

    Solid walls have no gap to fill, so heat passes through them easily.

    What to do: Ask a retrofit assessor about insulating the inside or outside. It's a bigger job, so get advice on damp and ventilation first.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  2. Windows

    A fair share

    Single glazing loses far more heat than the wall around it.

    What to do: Look at secondary or double glazing. Draught-strip the frames in the meantime.

    From your answers

  3. Draughts and air

    A fair share

    Warm air escapes through gaps, and cold air comes in.

    What to do: Seal gaps around pipes, skirting boards and the loft hatch. Keep vents and extractor fans working, because your home still needs fresh air.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  4. Roof

    A small share

    Heat rises, so a thinly insulated loft loses a lot of it.

    What to do: A top-up to 270mm is usually a simple job.

    From your answers

  5. Floor

    A small share

    Some heat goes down through the floor, especially if there are gaps.

    What to do: Seal gaps between skirting boards and the floor. If you have a suspended floor, ask about insulating it from below.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  6. Cold spots

    A small share

    Heat escapes where walls, floors and windows meet.

    What to do: Not a job on its own. Ask your installer to treat these while they're insulating.

Low evidence: everything assumed

No survey, certificate or photo detail, so the home's age and type drive every row. The age and attachment warnings are reworded, the square-feet warning shows "m²", and the aerial-quality warning says nothing because aerial imagery is not used.

Where your heat goes

Your walls may be the main way heat leaves your home.

Mostly assumed from your home's age and type, so treat this as a starting point. Adding your EPC or answering the insulation questions would make it specific to your home.

  1. Walls

    The biggest share

    We don't know exactly how your walls are built.

    What to do: Get them looked at. Knowing the wall type is the first step to choosing insulation.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  2. Draughts and air

    A fair share

    Warm air escapes through gaps, and cold air comes in.

    What to do: Seal gaps around pipes, skirting boards and the loft hatch. Keep vents and extractor fans working, because your home still needs fresh air.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  3. Windows

    A small share

    Even good windows lose more heat than an insulated wall.

    What to do: Usually not the first job. Check the seals, draught-strip the frames and use heavy curtains.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  4. Cold spots

    A small share

    Heat escapes where walls, floors and windows meet.

    What to do: Not a job on its own. Ask your installer to treat these while they're insulating.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  5. Floor

    A small share

    Some heat goes down through the floor, especially if there are gaps.

    What to do: Seal gaps between skirting boards and the floor. If you have a suspended floor, ask about insulating it from below.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  6. Roof

    A small share

    We don't know how deep your loft insulation is. If it's thin, a lot of heat goes this way.

    What to do: Check the depth with a tape measure. If it's under 270mm, a top-up is usually a simple job.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

What we had to assume
  • We don't know when your home was built, so we assumed 1950 to 1966. This matters a lot here.
  • We don't know if your home is attached to its neighbours, so we assumed detached, which gives the highest heat loss.
  • We read your floor area as square feet and converted it to 84 m², because the figure given was too large to be metric. If your home really is that big, correct the units on your survey — every number here scales with floor area.
  • Walls: Assumed from your home's age and type
  • Draughts and air: Assumed from your home's age and type
  • Windows: Assumed from your home's age and type
  • Cold spots: Assumed from your home's age and type
  • Floor: Assumed from your home's age and type

A certificate that only assumes the wall

Everything else comes from the certificate. The walls row says the certificate assumes it, which is not the same as a fact, and the two top rows are close enough to share the headline.

Where your heat goes

Your windows and draughts may be the main ways heat leaves your home.

Based partly on facts about your home, and partly on its age and type.

  1. Windows

    The biggest share

    Even good windows lose more heat than an insulated wall.

    What to do: Usually not the first job. Check the seals, draught-strip the frames and use heavy curtains.

    From your EPC certificate

  2. Draughts and air

    A fair share

    Warm air escapes through gaps, and cold air comes in.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  3. Walls

    A fair share

    If your cavity walls are empty, they let a lot of heat straight through.

    What to do: Get the cavity checked. An installer can look inside with a small camera, and fill it if it's empty.

    Your EPC certificate assumes this

  4. Floor

    A fair share

    Some heat goes down through the floor, especially if there are gaps.

    What to do: Seal gaps between skirting boards and the floor. If you have a suspended floor, ask about insulating it from below.

    From your EPC certificate

  5. Cold spots

    A small share

    Heat escapes where walls, floors and windows meet.

    What to do: Not a job on its own. Ask your installer to treat these while they're insulating.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

  6. Walls shared with neighbours

    Very little

    Air moving inside a shared wall can carry heat away.

    What to do: Ask whoever checks your walls whether the shared wall can be sealed or filled too.

    Assumed from your home's age and type

Walls already insulated

Walls, roof, windows and floor all say nothing needs doing. The report holds a wall and a loft recommendation anyway, and neither is linked, because the row says it isn't needed. Draughts still link.

Where your heat goes

Your walls are likely the main way heat leaves your home.

Based on facts about your walls, roof and windows. Your home's exact shape and how draughty it is are still assumed.

  1. Walls

    The biggest share

    Your walls look insulated. They still lose heat because there's a lot of wall.

    What to do: Nothing to do here first, unless a check shows the insulation is missing.

    From your answers

  2. Draughts and air

    A fair share

    Warm air escapes through gaps, and cold air comes in.

    What to do: Seal gaps around pipes, skirting boards and the loft hatch. Keep vents and extractor fans working, because your home still needs fresh air.

  5. Floor

    A small share

    Your floor looks insulated.

    What to do: Nothing to do here first.

    From your EPC certificate

  6. Roof

    A small share

    Your loft looks well insulated, so the roof loses less than it could.

    What to do: No top-up needed, unless the insulation has been moved or squashed.

Mid-floor flat

A home above and below: no roof or floor row, and the heat shared with the neighbours above and below is not counted as a way heat leaves. The unknown-floor-level warning is reworded.

Where your heat goes

Your walls are likely the main way heat leaves your home.

Based on facts about your walls, roof and windows. Your home's exact shape and how draughty it is are still assumed.

  1. Walls

    The biggest share

    Your walls aren't standard brick, so the usual cavity fill won't work.

    What to do: Ask a retrofit assessor what insulation suits this type of wall.

    From our reading of your photos

  2. Draughts and air

    A fair share

    Warm air escapes through gaps, and cold air comes in.

    What to do: Seal gaps around pipes, skirting boards and the loft hatch. Keep vents and extractor fans working, because your home still needs fresh air.
