Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in BRISTOL, BS8 4EE. The property offers 256m² (2756 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. 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 £3395, comprising £3085 for heating, £166 for hot water, and £144 for lighting. The property produces 18.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
