Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached house is located in SALTASH, PL12 6PA. The property offers 379.19m² (4082 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 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. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a F rating (27/100). 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. 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 £4587, comprising £3947 for heating, £319 for hot water, and £321 for lighting. The property produces 31.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
