Future-proof Your Home From Expensive Energy With Double Glazing
It seems as though there is no end in sight for expensive energy
. E.ON are the last of the big six energy companies in the UK to announce a rise in energy bills over the past few weeks/months with further rises expected in 2013. This has led to an increase in the number of people living in fuel poverty where fuel costs account for at least 10 per cent of a homeowners salary.
Currently, it is estimated that over 6 million people are classed as being in fuel poverty with the figures expected to grow further in the future due to the ever rising cost of energy. Those who cannot afford to pay their monthly fuel bill are taking to extremes in many circumstances; turning off their heating system completely even in a property that may not be providing the level of insulation that it ought to.
Innovations such as the Green Deal have been introduced to try and help the problem. The Green Deal allows the homeowner to take our energy efficient measures in their property at no upfront cost; paying for them courtesy of the future savings made on energy. However, so far this government scheme has failed to take off as expected with large numbers of people being largely unaware of its existence. What the vast majority of us have heard of is double glazing.
Double glazing in Birmingham, double glazing in Bromsgrove and double glazing in Hereford can help you save a huge amount of money on energy bills throughout their duration. Once installed, you can expect at least two decades worth of lower fuel costs; money saved that will justify and cover the cost of the original installation and go a very long way.
Whilst the cost of energy will continue to rise, you will be able to manage it far better when you have contemporary windows installed as heat loss will never occur again and what energy is created inside your home will be retained. Usage of your boiler will drop and this will be reflected in all further bills. It will also result in fewer carbon emissions, which is good news for us all as the less fuel we use; the less harmful it is to the environment.
It is amazing what new windows can do for your home and your finances. Purchasing a set for your home will be a very wise move.
