Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in NORWICH, NR13 4NP. The property offers 170m² (1830 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (57/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2401, comprising £1865 for heating, £354 for hot water, and £182 for lighting. The property produces 5.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
