Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in BODMIN, PL31 2PE. The property offers 89m² (958 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (55/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £1531, comprising £1166 for heating, £287 for hot water, and £78 for lighting. The property produces 3.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home. The property last sold in February 2020 for £295,000.
