Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?
This detached house is located in WHITBY, YO22 5PS. The property offers 46m² (495 sq ft) of compact living space with 3 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (31/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. With recommended improvements, it could achieve a B rating (88/100). Heating is provided by oil-fired central heating. While effective, oil prices can be volatile and the system produces higher carbon emissions than gas or heat pumps. The loft insulation is rated very good, meeting or exceeding the recommended 270mm depth for optimal thermal performance. Double glazing is installed throughout the property, providing good thermal and acoustic insulation. Estimated annual energy costs are £2881, comprising £2223 for heating, £567 for hot water, and £91 for lighting. The property produces 6.4 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is above average for a UK home.
