Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached flat is located in ASHBOURNE, DE6 1LW. The property offers 66m² (710 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (25/100) 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. The walls feature cavity wall insulation for improved thermal efficiency. 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 £1479, comprising £1208 for heating, £174 for hot water, and £97 for lighting. The property produces 4.9 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is moderate for a UK home.
