Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in NEWCASTLE, ST5 8BB. The property offers 122.85m² (1322 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. Currently rated F (30/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). 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 £1923, comprising £1518 for heating, £305 for hot water, and £100 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
