To enable this comparison the figures have beencalculated using standardised running conditions (heating periods, room temperatures, etc.) that are the samefor all homes, consequently they are unlikely to match an occupier's actual fuel bills and carbon emissions inpractice. The figures do not include the impacts of the fuels used for cooking or running appliances, such as TV,fridge etc.; nor do they reflect the costs associated with service, maintenance or safety inspections. Alwayscheck the certificate date because fuel prices can change over time and energy saving recommendations willevolve.
