Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in TELFORD, TF4 2ND. The property offers 97m² (1044 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (28/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (76/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Estimated annual energy costs are £4506, comprising £3166 for heating, £1091 for hot water, and £249 for lighting. The property produces 14.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
