Grants verified 20 August 2026. Costs are the register’s indicative ranges. Savings are restated at the fuel prices assumed in July 2026. Points per measure are estimated from 19.9 million certificates and rescaled to this home’s own certificate delta; the total is the register’s figure.

Running costs
