Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in GLOUCESTER, GL2 7BP. The property offers 125m² (1346 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (68/100). 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 throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £1739, comprising £1269 for heating, £386 for hot water, and £84 for lighting. The property produces 5.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
