Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in WADEBRIDGE, PL27 6BZ. The property offers 140m² (1507 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (35/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1979, comprising £1563 for heating, £296 for hot water, and £120 for lighting. The property produces 9.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
