Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in WALSALL, WS9 8BL. The property offers 164m² (1765 sq ft) of spacious living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (89/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Triple-glazed windows provide excellent insulation, reducing heat loss by up to 40% compared to single glazing and offering superior noise reduction of up to 35dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £2512, comprising £2067 for heating, £322 for hot water, and £123 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
