Cheshire East Rating C Score: 69 / 100

CW11 is around the national average for energy efficiency.

3% of homes are rated F or G — above the national average of 2.9%.

Energy efficiency in CW11 (Cheshire East) sits at an average score of 69 out of 100, placing it around the national average. To put this in context, the national average sits at 67. The most common rating band is D, with 29.4% of homes rated A or B and 58.2% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 3% of homes sit in the F or G bands — the least efficient categories. In practical terms, a rating of D means many homes here lose more heat than average — potentially adding £200-400 per year to energy bills compared to a C-rated home.

Most of the housing stock here consists of houses. Around 76% of properties are owner-occupied . Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 91% 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 69 to 84 — a 15-point jump that would lift the typical rating to B. That is a substantial gain, suggesting many homes are missing basic efficiency measures.

What percentage of homes in CW11 are rated F or G?
