Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?

This semi-detached house is located in HAVERFORDWEST, SA62 6XG. The property offers 148mยฒ (1593 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (13/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (51/100). 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. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs ยฃ300-ยฃ500 and could save ยฃ150-ยฃ250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are ยฃ3380, comprising ยฃ2993 for heating, ยฃ283 for hot water, and ยฃ104 for lighting. The property produces 3.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
