Keeping our homes warm this winter is a must and as you are likely to have plenty
of guests around during Christmas and New Year you want your home to be welcoming. The ideal situation is to have your home nice and warm without having the heating on all the time as this is going to push up your utility bills each month. The average cost of a monthly utility bill is increasing and when the VAT increase returns in the New Year we are going to need to cut back on what we are using each month.
Those who planned ahead would have got double glazing installed already and will be seeing and feeling the difference already. Double glazing is a great addition to any home as it allows you to use the heating system in your house less whilst keeping your home warm (what a combination!). This happens because the two glass panels trap air in between them and this creates a barrier that does not allow heat to escape unlike single-pane windows.
Like everything, cheaper does not mean more cost effective but at the same time more expensive doesnt mean better either. Trying to find a company that will complete any work within a set budget is obviously important as you do not want to go over your budget. Make sure you agree a price before hand and have the agreements in writing so that no additional costs are added to the overall bill.
There are many benefits from double glazing especially for elderly people who require houses to be constantly warm as they are generally more susceptible to colds and flu. Double glazing is very cost effective to get installed and the benefits and savings that can be made each year mean if you have not got double glazing installed already you should give it serious consideration very soon.
Whether it is before or after Christmas search around for some deals on double glazing and other home improvements to increase the value of your home, save money and do your bit for the environment.
