Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in DERBY, DE74 2QF. The property offers 154.21m² (1660 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (63/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 £2072, comprising £1574 for heating, £374 for hot water, and £124 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
