Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in SEATON, EX12 3HT. The property offers 231.51m² (2492 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (44/100). The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. 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 £3217, comprising £2690 for heating, £346 for hot water, and £181 for lighting. The property produces 18.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
