Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in DERBY, DE65 6HT. The property offers 52m² (560 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (118/100). The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1198, comprising £987 for heating, £158 for hot water, and £53 for lighting. The property produces 3.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
