CV36 is around the national average for energy efficiency.
6.6% of homes are rated F or G — above the national average of 2.9%.
Data from 3,895 property assessments shows CV36 averaging 65 out of 100, placing it around the national average. For reference, the England and Wales average is 67 — so CV36 is around that benchmark. The most common rating band is C, with 21.8% of homes rated A or B and 56.6% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 6.6% of homes sit in the F or G bands — the least efficient categories. In practical terms, a C rating suggests reasonably efficient homes, though there is still room for improvement on heating and insulation.
Walk through CV36 and you will mostly see houses. Around 67% of properties are owner-occupied and 19% are social housing. Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 64% of homes, which is typical for urban areas across England.
There is genuine room for improvement here. If every recommended upgrade were carried out, the average score could climb from 65 to 83 — a 18-point jump that would lift the typical rating to B. That is a substantial gain, suggesting many homes are missing basic efficiency measures. If you live in CV36 and want to reduce your energy bills, start with our guide to loft insulation — it is one of the most cost-effective upgrades you can make.

Frequently asked questions
What is the average EPC rating in CV36?
Homes in CV36 have an average EPC rating of D, scoring 65 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 3,895 certificates issued across the district.
This is broadly in line with the national average of 67 — neither particularly efficient nor particularly wasteful. A D rating typically means higher-than-necessary heating bills, especially in older properties without adequate insulation.
What percentage of homes in CV36 are rated F or G?
6.6% of homes in CV36 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.
That means CV36 has a higher-than-average proportion of poorly insulated homes. On the positive side, many of these properties may qualify for free improvements through government schemes like ECO4 or the Great British Insulation Scheme. Landlords should note that F and G rated properties cannot legally be rented out under current MEES rules.
