About This Property
This detached house is located in YORK, YO62 5EF. The property offers 269m² (2896 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. With an EPC rating of D (56/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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 walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings.

Estimated annual energy costs are £3108, comprising £2813 for heating, £157 for hot water, and £138 for lighting. The property produces 8.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
