TORBRYAN, CHAPEL LANE

Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in LINCOLN, LN4 2ET. The property offers 73m² (786 sq ft) of modest-sized living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (36/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a D rating (60/100). 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 with good efficiency ratings, providing solid thermal performance. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. 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 £1412, comprising £1080 for heating, £265 for hot water, and £67 for lighting. The property produces 3.1 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is low for a UK home.
