Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in SHEFFIELD, S35 7BA. The property offers 211.5m² (2277 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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. 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 £3008, comprising £2570 for heating, £287 for hot water, and £151 for lighting. The property produces 19.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
