Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in COVENTRY, CV7 7HN. The property offers 143m² (1539 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (20/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (63/100). 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 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £2874, comprising £2371 for heating, £350 for hot water, and £153 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
