Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in PETERBOROUGH, PE8 5EG. The property offers 194m² (2088 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (71/100). This property benefits from a air 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 property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Estimated annual energy costs are £2828, comprising £2422 for heating, £288 for hot water, and £118 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
