Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in DERBY, DE21 5LA. The property offers 138.09m² (1486 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 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 E rating (54/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £2432, comprising £1981 for heating, £279 for hot water, and £172 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
