Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN5 8ED. The property offers 145m² (1561 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). 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. 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 £2536, comprising £2262 for heating, £175 for hot water, and £99 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
