Between certificates, window efficiency dropped from Good to Average and hot-water efficiency dropped from Average to Poor. The recommended improvements would lift it to D (score 66), a 2-band jump. Main heating runs on oil. The latest certificate is from March 2015, so improvements made since then won't be reflected.
