Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in Swansea, SA6 3XS. The property offers 134m² (1442 sq ft) of spacious living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (23/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2973, comprising £2064 for heating, £605 for hot water, and £304 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
