Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in ROTHERHAM, S62 7SH. The property offers 146m² (1572 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 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 C rating (76/100). This property benefits from a air source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. 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 £2649, comprising £2230 for heating, £264 for hot water, and £155 for lighting. The property produces 8.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
