Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in SWINDON, SN1 4EZ. The property offers 201.84m² (2173 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (49/100). 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 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 £2198, comprising £1789 for heating, £264 for hot water, and £145 for lighting. The property produces 8.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
