Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This terraced flat is located in TROWBRIDGE, BA14 8JS. The property offers 80.56mยฒ (867 sq ft) of good-sized living space. Currently rated F (27/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. 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 ยฃ7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ1673, comprising ยฃ1378 for heating, ยฃ235 for hot water, and ยฃ60 for lighting. The property produces 4.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
