Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in NORWICH, NR11 8RB. The property offers 160m² (1722 sq ft) of spacious living space with 5 habitable rooms. It is built during the 1980s construction period. Currently rated F (33/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a E rating (41/100). 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. 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 £1741, comprising £1405 for heating, £214 for hot water, and £122 for lighting. The property produces 10.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
