Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in STOKE-ON-TRENT, ST3 7NS. The property offers 141mยฒ (1518 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (93/100). 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 ยฃ7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. Double glazing is installed, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ2160, comprising ยฃ1678 for heating, ยฃ353 for hot water, and ยฃ129 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in July 2015 for ยฃ300,000.
