Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This terraced house is located in BRISTOL, BS8 4BT. The property offers 170.44m² (1835 sq ft) of spacious living space with 2 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (1/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £4260, comprising £3728 for heating, £385 for hot water, and £147 for lighting. The property produces 27.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
