Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in DEREHAM, NR20 4PS. The property offers 124m² (1335 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a post-war property from the mid-20th century. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (93/100). 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, though the efficiency rating suggests older units. Modern low-E double glazing can be up to 40% more efficient than units installed before 2002. Estimated annual energy costs are £2722, comprising £2220 for heating, £313 for hot water, and £189 for lighting. The property produces 8.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
