Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in PETERBOROUGH, PE2 9QP. The property offers 86m² (926 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (19/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (68/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. 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. 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 £4975, comprising £4279 for heating, £600 for hot water, and £96 for lighting. The property produces 4.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
