The most complete modelling of these costs we have is for households who were on low-incomes in 2018. This is based on the English Housing Survey. Due to small samples, the estimate for band F and G have been combined.

The modelled costs of improving the average home which is off the gas grid to band C are:

From band E

£12,300

From band F & G

£18,900
