Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in MIDDLESBROUGH, TS9 7EL. The property offers 187m² (2013 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (83/100). 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 property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2365, comprising £1847 for heating, £400 for hot water, and £118 for lighting. The property produces 16.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
