Don’t Allow High Energy Bills To Dictate Your Life

Most contemporary properties are being constructed with energy efficiency specifically in mind so that they meet energy ratings. As part of a remit of the government, the UK is expected to reduce carbon emissions by 80% by 2050 which is why energy efficient measures are widespread in most new homes.

With the cost of energy at its highest-ever rate and prices expected to rise further over the coming years it no surprise to see that there is now a very high demand for energy efficient housing amongst Britons. But for some people moving home may not be as an attractive proposition as it is to others no matter how much money it could save them on energy.

You may be perfectly happy with where you currently live as it could be in an ideal location for you and your family or it could simply be that you cannot afford the cost of moving elsewhere.

No matter as you can easily and instantly improve energy efficiency in your existing property by installing double glazing in Leeds, double glazing in Yorkshire and double glazing in Huddersfield.

What many people aren’t aware of is that poorly-insulated windows are responsible for around 25% of heat lost from the home. As traditional timber windows age they become less effective at storing warm air and keeping out cold air, hence why your home continues to be hit by draughts and cold spots. Gaps appear in frames which then results in air passing in and out of your home.

The first thing people obviously then look to do when they feel cold in the home is turn up their heating which costs them more than it should do in energy costs. Overcompensating for draughts is an expensive business and a cost that you shouldn’t have to bear.

Double glazing will put an end to all of this as the UPVC frame and glass combine to ensure that heat stays present in the home for a prolonged period of time, enabling you to cut down your reliance on gas. Installing it in as many rooms in your home as you can afford is a long-term investment well worth the time, money and effort.

The life expectancy of a double glazed window far outweighs that of a single glazed window. You will get at least 20 years of cheaper energy out of them so don’t even think about moving!
