Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in DEREHAM, NR20 4DB. The property offers 70m² (753 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (104/100). 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. 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 £1064, comprising £725 for heating, £238 for hot water, and £101 for lighting. The property produces 7.2 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
