Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in WARRINGTON, WA5 2LG. The property offers 91.2m² (982 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (69/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1500, comprising £1054 for heating, £396 for hot water, and £50 for lighting. The property produces 7.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
