Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in PETERBOROUGH, PE5 7XP. The property offers 120m² (1292 sq ft) of spacious living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (26/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (84/100). 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 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. 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 £1571, comprising £1297 for heating, £164 for hot water, and £110 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
