Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in POTTERS BAR, EN6 2RT. The property offers 145.8m² (1569 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. 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 (46/100). 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 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. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2180, comprising £1837 for heating, £209 for hot water, and £134 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
