Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in BRISTOL, BS8 3PJ. The property offers 261.62m² (2816 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 8 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (41/100). The gas central heating system has good efficiency, indicating a relatively modern, well-maintained boiler. The property has modern timber frame or system-built walls, which typically offer good insulation properties when properly maintained. 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 £3416, comprising £2973 for heating, £253 for hot water, and £190 for lighting. The property produces 15.6 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
