Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in CALLINGTON, PL17 8LN. The property offers 102.67m² (1105 sq ft) of good-sized living space with 4 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (37/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (40/100). The oil-fired central heating has poor efficiency. Oil boilers are more expensive to run than gas and have higher carbon emissions. Consider switching to a heat pump (eligible for £7,500 BUS grant) for significant long-term savings. Estimated annual energy costs are £1283, comprising £986 for heating, £219 for hot water, and £78 for lighting. The property produces 4.7 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
