Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in MIDDLESBROUGH, TS9 7HY. The property offers 134m² (1442 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (23/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (88/100). 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 roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £2931, comprising £2535 for heating, £252 for hot water, and £144 for lighting. The property produces 8.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
