Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in WILLENHALL, WV12 4AY. The property offers 74m² (797 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (61/100). 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 £2963, comprising £1345 for heating, £1547 for hot water, and £71 for lighting. The property produces 1.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
