About This Property
This semi-detached flat is located in PRESTON, CT3 1JF. The property offers 146m² (1572 sq ft) of spacious living space. With an EPC rating of D (67/100), this property is around the UK average for energy efficiency. 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. Single glazing is a significant source of heat loss, accounting for up to 25% of a home's heat escaping through windows. Upgrading to double glazing typically costs £400-£600 per window but improves thermal comfort and can reduce noise by up to 30dB. Estimated annual energy costs are £1475, comprising £1087 for heating, £266 for hot water, and £122 for lighting. The property produces 3.5 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
