About This Property
This terraced house is located in BLACKBURN, BB2 1QW. The property offers 90m² (969 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. The property holds an EPC rating of C (77/100), meeting the government's target standard for energy efficiency. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). 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. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy 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 £1774, comprising £1218 for heating, £447 for hot water, and £109 for lighting. The property produces 2.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
