Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in March, PE15 0PA. The property offers 70m² (753 sq ft) of modest-sized living space. Currently rated F (21/100) 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £2542, comprising £1738 for heating, £748 for hot water, and £56 for lighting. The property produces 1.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is very low for a UK home.
