Why Does This Property Have a F Rating?

This detached house is located in ILFRACOMBE, EX34 0NA. The property offers 135.28m² (1456 sq ft) of spacious living space with 7 habitable rooms. It is a period property with Victorian or earlier origins. Currently rated F (23/100) for energy efficiency, this property would benefit significantly from energy improvements. The gas central heating system has average efficiency, indicating a boiler that may be 10-15 years old. While functional, upgrading to a modern A-rated condensing boiler could improve efficiency by 15-25%. The property has good loft insulation, though topping up to the recommended 270mm depth could provide additional energy savings. 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 £2414, comprising £2101 for heating, £235 for hot water, and £78 for lighting. The property produces 13.0 tonnes of CO2 per year, which is high for a UK home.
