About This E-Rated Property
This terraced house is located in TRURO, TR2 4JR. The property offers 95.1mยฒ (1024 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. The property has an EPC rating of E (46/100), which is below average but still meets minimum rental requirements. The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 ยฃ1017, comprising ยฃ704 for heating, ยฃ209 for hot water, and ยฃ104 for lighting. The property produces 7.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
