Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in STOCKTON-ON-TEES, TS16 0GB. The property offers 83.78m² (902 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. 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 £1310, comprising £901 for heating, £324 for hot water, and £85 for lighting. The property produces 4.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home. The property last sold in April 2015 for £187,000.
