Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in CARLISLE, CA2 7PW. The property offers 169m² (1819 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (55/100). 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 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £3245, comprising £2955 for heating, £202 for hot water, and £88 for lighting. The property produces 9.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
