Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in BRISTOL, BS8 4PL. The property offers 374.25m² (4028 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 13 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (55/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £4852, comprising £4070 for heating, £375 for hot water, and £407 for lighting. The property produces 27.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
