Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in CARLISLE, CA4 0BU. The property offers 279m² (3003 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (25/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (77/100). 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £4292, comprising £3759 for heating, £320 for hot water, and £213 for lighting. The property produces 24.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
