Consumers have recently been out in force campaigning for VAT to be cut from the cost of energy bills as increasing numbers find themselves living in fuel poverty. VAT on energy bills is currently at 5%. Doing away with VAT could drag up to a quarter of a million people out of fuel poverty and cut up to £60 off the cost of monthly energy bills.
However, it has been discovered that EU legislation states that the UK has no right to 0% VAT on energy bills after the Conservative Government of John Major agreed to such a deal back in 1992.
This will come as a huge blow to those homeowners who were clinging on to the hope that a cut in VAT would ease their energy and financial worries. This latest news confirms that there will be no respite in energy bills in the near future which then passes the onus onto homeowners to try and do something about it.
This means investing in energy efficient measures such as those offered by Eden Windows.
Double glazing in Dartford and double glazing in Gillingham is a fantastic option for those looking to cut reliance on their heating, without it having an adverse effect on the overall temperature of their home. It will also bring energy bills down to a more affordable cost so that heating your home will no longer cost you a fortune.
Draughts will also disappear from your home, never to return, as double glazing can deflect away cold air from the home and keep whatever heat is generated indoors firmly sealed. Heat loss will be cut to a bare minimum.
In addition, Eden Windows also possesses one of the largest ranges of conservatories in Dartford for those looking to extend living space in the home.
