Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in FELIXSTOWE, IP11 9LR. The property offers 88.28m² (950 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (25/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (39/100). Underfloor heating provides even heat distribution and works particularly well with heat pumps due to the lower water temperatures required. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1552, comprising £1188 for heating, £275 for hot water, and £89 for lighting. The property produces 9.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
