Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in BEDALE, DL8 1JL. The property offers 102.1m² (1099 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (58/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. Estimated annual energy costs are £1573, comprising £1203 for heating, £270 for hot water, and £100 for lighting. The property produces 8.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
