Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in WORCESTER, WR2 4TN. The property offers 93m² (1001 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (82/100). 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, 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 £1708, comprising £1443 for heating, £201 for hot water, and £64 for lighting. The property produces 7.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
