Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in NORTHAMPTON, NN3 2PX. The property offers 96m² (1033 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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 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 £1874, comprising £1452 for heating, £321 for hot water, and £101 for lighting. The property produces 9.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home. The property last sold in October 2015 for £168,500.
