Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in AYLESBURY, HP21 7RT. The property offers 71m² (764 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £1675, comprising £1329 for heating, £280 for hot water, and £66 for lighting. The property produces 9.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
