Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in LLANDYSUL, SA44 6QS. The property offers 243m² (2616 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (68/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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. 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 £3595, comprising £2752 for heating, £631 for hot water, and £212 for lighting. The property produces 22.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
