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
Anyone who finds themselves in this difficult position is encouraged to shop around for a cheaper energy tariff as you should never settle for the first energy quote you receive. Very often you will find that you can find a better deal.
Once you have found the best available tariff for your energy usage throughout the year you then need to pay attention to the windows you already have installed. Around 25% of heat lost from the home is due to poorly-insulated windows, so if you find that your windows are letting heat escape and allowing draughts to pour into your home, you need to get them replaced.
Double glazing in Maidstone and double glazing Chatham is the key to affordable energy as it helps boost energy efficiency and ensures that as little heat created by your boiler is allowed to escape. It does this as the two panes of glass and UPVC frame included store heat and put it to better use than a single glazed version.
Double glazing is also nowadays incorporated into conservatories in Maidstone as they can act as a temperature control. This means that your home never becomes too warm in summer, nor becomes too cold in winter.
Once purchased, you will get at least 20 years’ worth of effective energy efficiency out of your brand new windows, during which time you can expect to save a huge amount of money.
