Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached flat is located in WORCESTER, WR2 5BH. The property offers 29.5m² (318 sq ft) of compact living space with 1 habitable room. 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. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (65/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. 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 £701, comprising £244 for heating, £433 for hot water, and £24 for lighting. The property produces 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
