Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in PRESTON, PR2 5SL. The property offers 220m² (2368 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 10 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (29/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a C rating (75/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. 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 £4144, comprising £3573 for heating, £445 for hot water, and £126 for lighting. The property produces 19.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
