The experts were not wrong when they predicted that our major energy companies would be announcing a rise in the cost of gas and electricity
. After British Gas and E.ON became the first of the Big Six to unveil a spike in energy bills, it has now been revealed fellow energy giants npower and Scottish Power will be following suit.
The hardest hit by the declaration made by Scottish Power will incredibly be those who pay for their bills via direct debit, despite this method of payment previously being the cheapest way of settling your bills. All in all, this news leaves UK homeowners far worse off and facing up to an annual average energy bill of around 1,360 pounds.
There will be some out there who will have been put off the idea of replacing their old windows to try and reduce the cost of energy after being put off by the price involved. But they should wait no longer as there is absolutely no doubt that double glazing in Dundee, double glazing in Montrose or double glazing in Stonehaven can drive down the cost of energy.
Rather than allow household fuel costs to force you into making a choice over whether food goes on the table each day or the heating gets turned off even in harsh conditions, rely on a new set of windows to heat your home without an over reliance on your boiler. They manage to do this so successfully as they come installed with a highly insulated UPVC frame and two panes of thermally efficient glass which trap heat and prevent a single bit of it escaping.
The money saved over a period of time will more than cover the amount you paid for your windows, so much so that you can easily expect an ROI well above what you spent to have them fitted and installed in the first place. You can also be safe in the knowledge that you are doing your bit for the environment as you will be able to utilise fewer fossil fuels and lower your carbon emissions.
Turning your thermostat down even a degree can help you save a considerable amount of money each year and this will most definitely be something you can afford to do when you ditch old windows for newer models. Refuse to give into the energy companies and the rewards will be yours for the taking.
