Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in BARNSTAPLE, EX32 7JJ. The property offers 80m² (861 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 (21/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). 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 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 £1892, comprising £1460 for heating, £351 for hot water, and £81 for lighting. The property produces 8.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
