Looking at the energy data for PR3, this Wyre district scores an average of 69 out of 100, placing it around the national average. Compared to the national average of 67, that puts PR3 around the norm for England and Wales. The most common rating band is B, with 35.5% of homes rated A or B and 47.5% in the C or D bands. Meanwhile, 5.3% of homes sit in the F or G bands — the least efficient categories. In practical terms, a B rating indicates well-insulated homes with efficient heating — energy bills here tend to be well below average.

The area is characterised by houses. Around 80% of properties are owner-occupied . Gas central heating is the main fuel source for 83% 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. If you live in PR3 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 PR3?

Homes in PR3 have an average EPC rating of C, scoring 69 out of 100 for energy efficiency. That figure comes from 14,931 certificates issued across the district.

This is broadly in line with the national average of 67 — neither particularly efficient nor particularly wasteful.

What percentage of homes in PR3 are rated F or G?

5.3% of homes in PR3 fall into the F or G bands — the lowest energy efficiency ratings. Nationally, the figure is 2.9%.

That means PR3 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.
