The BBC is reporting that the forthcoming Green Deal, which seeks to make UK households more energy efficient, is being looked at by government after fears that it does not go far enough. Set to launch in October, Green Deal will allow people to take out loans to improve the energy efficiency of their property. However, some claim that it will in fact collectively waste £2-3 billion in energy bills.
As pointed out, this is worrying news, particularly at a time when there more than 6 million people already living in fuel poverty, with that figure set to rise even further in the coming months. Many people are desperately short of finances and expensive energy bills only add to their problems. It can even force them to live without fuel when they need it most, causing health implications.
Home insulation will play a key part in the Green Deal.…
Over time, a home can start to lose its aesthetic appeal. The beautiful property that you first moved into may now be a pale shadow of its former self and in need of some urgent repair. But sometimes it only takes a few subtle changes to restore it to its former glory. Changing the windows is one such measure as the older a window gets the more untidy and unattractive it can appear.
This is particularly true of traditional timber windows which as time progresses start to rot away and decay, creating a negative overall image of your home. A dated set of windows can even damage the overall impression people get of your home all on their own as they can spoil its appearance hugely.
After standing back and contemplating where changes need to be made and coming to the decision that your windows are largely responsible, you need…
The rising levels of fuel poverty, energy prices and hypothermia has led to consumer experts uSwitch to campaign for VAT to be ditched from energy bills. The current rate of VAT on gas and electricity bills is 5%. uSwitch suggest that if VAT were to be scrapped then it would result in up to 250,000 households being taken out of fuel poverty and an overall drop in the cost of energy.
Ann Robinson, Director of Consumer Policy at uSwitch, said: “Removing VAT from our energy bills would help to alleviate the growing financial pressure that consumers are coming under, enable many more to keep warm in the winter and snatch 250,000 households from the grip of fuel poverty.
“When added to the recent £34 price cut made by suppliers, the removal of VAT would see household energy bills tumble by almost £100 a year.
“I would urge the Government to consider this…
A price war is set to break out amongst the UKs major energy suppliers, not only amongst the big six, but also amongst the smaller energy companies who are desperately trying to end the dominance of British Gas, Eon, Scottish Power etc. Several companies have already announced their planned cuts, with others set to follow suit shortly. However you can cut your own energy bills simply by replacing any old windows in your home.
Generating your own electricity is a cost-effective solution to high energy bills but renewable energy is out of the financial reach of many which is why a new set of windows are a far more realistic proposition.
Double glazing in Maidstone and double glazing in Chatham will enable you to dramatically cut the cost of heating bills permanently as they are far more effective at utilising and storing warm air than a…

Increasing number of British householders are being forced into fuel poverty because of the rising cost of energy. In 2011, all the major energy suppliers have raised their prices and this had a huge knock-on effect on homeowners finances, forcing many to go without fuel even when they need it most. There are ways of solving the problem

Ensuring your home is as environmentally-friendly as possible is essential if we want to protect the planet and everything that comes with it for future generations. Too many homeowners give very little regard to the health of the planet and that trend needs to be reversed and quick if we want to see off threat of climate change and depleting conventional fuel.
Eden Windows is only too aware of this requirement and is a key campaigner when it comes to the issue, encouraging as many homeowners in the region to install double glazing in Ashford as possible. It is a real prerequisite in the modern home as it enables you to use less fuel to power your home with heat which is overall better for the environment.
Traditional fossil fuels are fast disappearing and in limited supply so we can therefore no longer over rely on…
