Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in BRISTOL, BS16 1RG. The property offers 84m² (904 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (12/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (72/100). 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £3505, comprising £2211 for heating, £1071 for hot water, and £223 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
