Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in TRURO, TR2 4PW. The property offers 116mยฒ (1249 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 6 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (66/100). 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 ยฃ7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term 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 ยฃ1855, comprising ยฃ1573 for heating, ยฃ172 for hot water, and ยฃ110 for lighting. The property produces 6.8 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
