Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in COVENTRY, CV5 9LN. The property offers 83m² (893 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (85/100). 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%. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £3481, comprising £1738 for heating, £1481 for hot water, and £262 for lighting. The property produces 8.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
