Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached house is located in CIRENCESTER, GL7 6LH. The property offers 372m² (4004 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 12 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (13/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (58/100). 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. Estimated annual energy costs are £10793, comprising £10147 for heating, £299 for hot water, and £347 for lighting. The property produces 47.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
