Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in YORK, YO26 7QW. The property offers 78.09m² (841 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (42/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1781, comprising £1599 for heating, £107 for hot water, and £75 for lighting. The property produces 9.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
