The growing costs of running a property are one of the main reasons why so many people in the UK are struggling financially. Powering your home for long periods can be very expensive, particularly if you have yet to put modern energy efficient windows in place. Over 50% of energy lost in the home is put down to the ineffectiveness of old windows at storing heat.
Those who have yet to realise the ability of double glazing in Liverpool, double glazing in Manchester and double glazing in Preston to cut carbon footprints, refresh the exterior of their home and lower the cost of their energy bills, need to take a closer look into them.
The money you can save on energy when you replace all old windows for double glazed equivalents is so substantial because modern windows have an energy efficient frame and glass which works to contain heat, rather than let it leak out. Any heat generated by your boiler will be circulated around your home courtesy of your windows so that you never feel a chill or need to over rely on the boiler.
Yes the cost of new windows can seem daunting, but when you experience how warm they keep you and your home and estimate how much money you will save in the long-term, it definitely makes it a worthwhile measure. Any money sent on new windows can easily be recouped during the lifespan of the window as the average UPVC window has a lifespan of 25 years.
All the major energy companies have or are looking to increase the cost of energy bills so unless you want to be hit in the pocket, now is the time to substitute any old windows you have for energy efficient equivalents before prices become even more expensive.
