Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in CALLINGTON, PL17 7JY. The property offers 94m² (1012 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is a 1990s-era home. Currently rated F (32/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £3092, comprising £2467 for heating, £527 for hot water, and £98 for lighting. The property produces 6.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
