Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in BLACKPOOL, FY4 5LB. The property offers 203m² (2185 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. Currently rated G (2/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (60/100). 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £4716, comprising £4249 for heating, £226 for hot water, and £241 for lighting. The property produces 16.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
