Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This semi-detached house is located in HAWES, DL8 3LX. The property offers 132.56m² (1427 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (34/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (41/100). 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. The walls feature cavity wall insulation with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The roof space has been converted to living space, with insulation between the rafters. 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 £1583, comprising £1273 for heating, £188 for hot water, and £122 for lighting. The property produces 11.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
