Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in UXBRIDGE, UB8 2JH. The property offers 140m² (1507 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated G (7/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (40/100). 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 £4475, comprising £3982 for heating, £400 for hot water, and £93 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
