Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in LUTON, LU3 2UH. The property offers 74m² (797 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (68/100). 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £1123, comprising £657 for heating, £398 for hot water, and £68 for lighting. The property produces 6.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home. The property last sold in December 2018 for £240,000.
