Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached bungalow is located in PETERBOROUGH, PE5 7XP. The property offers 100m² (1076 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a characterful interwar or early 20th century home. Currently rated F (24/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a A rating (99/100). The property uses electric storage heaters, which charge overnight on cheaper electricity tariffs. While having low installation costs, running costs are typically higher than gas central heating. A heat pump could reduce electricity use by 60-70%. The pitched roof lacks adequate insulation. Topping up loft insulation to 270mm (the recommended depth) typically costs £300-£500 and could save £150-£250 annually, with the investment often paying for itself within 2-3 years. 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 £2826, comprising £2361 for heating, £331 for hot water, and £134 for lighting. The property produces 15.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
