Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This detached bungalow is located in SHREWSBURY, SY5 6PH. The property offers 178m² (1916 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated G (5/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (44/100). This property benefits from a ground source heat pump system, which can deliver 3-4 units of heat for every unit of electricity used. Heat pumps are eligible for the £7,500 Boiler Upgrade Scheme grant, making them increasingly popular for UK homes seeking to reduce carbon emissions. The solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. 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 £4966, comprising £4628 for heating, £255 for hot water, and £83 for lighting. The property produces 18.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
