Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in NORWICH, NR13 3SQ. The property offers 147m² (1582 sq ft) of spacious living space with 9 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (38/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). 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 loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2251, comprising £1920 for heating, £204 for hot water, and £127 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
