Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced house is located in LLANNERCH-Y-MEDD, LL71 7AE. The property offers 101m² (1087 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (22/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (102/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £2412, comprising £2033 for heating, £295 for hot water, and £84 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
