Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached park home is located in BASINGSTOKE, RG24 7BB. The property offers 42m² (452 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (52/100). 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 £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term 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 £1160, comprising £933 for heating, £170 for hot water, and £57 for lighting. The property produces 2.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
