Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This terraced maisonette is located in PLYMOUTH, PL1 2PL. The property offers 140m² (1507 sq ft) of spacious living space. Currently rated F (25/100) 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 £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £5684, comprising £5155 for heating, £331 for hot water, and £198 for lighting. The property produces 8.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
