subject: Hit Back Against High Energy Bills By Double Glazing Your Home [print this page] As most UK homeowners will already be aware the cost of household fuel has risen massively over the past few years. However, it has been reported that families in certain parts of the country have been hit harder by expensive energy bills more so than others.
A study conducted by Energyhelpine.com has discovered that energy prices vary by as much as 92 pounds a year between regions, with those living in Merseyside and North Wales paying an average of 1,373 pounds a year, compared to 1,281 pounds a year in Northern Scotland. This is despite high unemployment in both areas.
High energy bills are a growing problem and are set to rise even further over the coming years as the level of fossil fuels we possess in this country rapidly diminish, resulting in us having to import more fuel from abroad. These transportation costs are then passed on from the major energy companies onto the homeowner, a burden they have to bear no matter whatever their current financial state is.
There will be some homeowners struggling to pay for their monthly energy bills more so than others, namely those who still have old, traditional, single glazed windows installed. Single glazing is poor at storing heat, regularly allowing it to seep out and escape, the result being that property owners then have to turn up their heating further.
Rather than persist with inefficient single glazing, homeowners should be looking towards double glazing in Huddersfield, double glazing in Wakefield or double glazing in Leeds to provide them with the heat they need, at a cost that will not see them languishing on the verge of fuel poverty.
When double glazing is installed at a property you will notice a considerable difference in the level of heat felt as not only will it properly store warm air generated by a boiler, but it will also prevent heat from escaping and transfer outdoor heat into the home. As a result of this, carbon emissions will also be lowered, making for a much more environmentally-friendly home.
Any money spent on double glazed windows will have been spent very wisely indeed as you can very easily make your money back and earn extra cash though the energy savings you can expect to make over a 20 year period.
Do not let extortionate energy bills get the better of you and your hard-earned cash. Purchase double glazing and you can have the last laugh.
