Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in OXFORD, OX33 1BU. The property offers 162m² (1744 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (52/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2882, comprising £2555 for heating, £176 for hot water, and £151 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
