Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in BRISTOL, BS16 1EE. The property offers 113m² (1216 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (25/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £2360, comprising £1928 for heating, £324 for hot water, and £108 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
