Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in SHREWSBURY, SY1 4HA. The property offers 146m² (1572 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). 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 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 £2027, comprising £1674 for heating, £272 for hot water, and £81 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
