Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in WOLVERHAMPTON, WV10 7DU. The property offers 195.2m² (2101 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. The flat roof has poor insulation. Flat roof insulation is more complex but essential for preventing heat loss and condensation issues, typically costing £1,000-£3,000 depending on access and method. 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 £2929, comprising £2222 for heating, £449 for hot water, and £258 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
