Why Does This Property Have a G Rating?
This detached house is located in DERBY, DE72 3FB. The property offers 352.113m² (3790 sq ft) of generously-sized living space with 11 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated G (17/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a F rating (24/100). 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 solid walls lack insulation. Solid wall insulation (external or internal) typically costs £8,000-£14,000 but can reduce heat loss by up to 35% and improve your EPC rating by 1-2 bands. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. Estimated annual energy costs are £4702, comprising £4029 for heating, £408 for hot water, and £265 for lighting. The property produces 39.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
