Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in MIRFIELD, WF14 9SA. The property offers 142m² (1528 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (46/100). 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%. 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 £1448, comprising £1250 for heating, £101 for hot water, and £97 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
