Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in WORCESTER, WR2 4RB. The property offers 119.63m² (1288 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 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. Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Estimated annual energy costs are £1505, comprising £1109 for heating, £288 for hot water, and £108 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
