Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in NEWQUAY, TR8 4LF. The property offers 102.98m² (1108 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (32/100) 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1695, comprising £1289 for heating, £299 for hot water, and £107 for lighting. The property produces 4.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
