Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in LANCASTER, LA2 9EF. The property offers 115m² (1238 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (60/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £2216, comprising £1944 for heating, £184 for hot water, and £88 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
