Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in BRISTOL, BS8 3RU. The property offers 163m² (1755 sq ft) of spacious living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). 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 £2636, comprising £2238 for heating, £289 for hot water, and £109 for lighting. The property produces 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
