Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in ALDERSHOT, GU12 6TA. The property offers 55.49mยฒ (597 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 ยฃ1228, comprising ยฃ909 for heating, ยฃ263 for hot water, and ยฃ56 for lighting. The property produces 6.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
