Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in WORCESTER, WR2 4PE. The property offers 138.95m² (1496 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (44/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £1780, comprising £1496 for heating, £177 for hot water, and £107 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
