Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in YORK, YO62 7LR. The property offers 148m² (1593 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a modern property built in the 2000s. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (64/100). The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2902, comprising £2470 for heating, £280 for hot water, and £152 for lighting. The property produces 12.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
