Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached house is located in KENDAL, LA9 5NS. The property offers 173.98m² (1873 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (17/100) 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. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2609, comprising £2093 for heating, £317 for hot water, and £199 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
