Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in SLOUGH, SL1 8QE. The property offers 116mยฒ (1249 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (67/100). 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 ยฃ7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 ยฃ1922, comprising ยฃ1613 for heating, ยฃ211 for hot water, and ยฃ98 for lighting. The property produces 7.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
