Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in FAREHAM, PO15 5SW. The property offers 148.19m² (1595 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 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 D rating (56/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £2864, comprising £2570 for heating, £181 for hot water, and £113 for lighting. The property produces 9.3 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
