Heating crisis can be eased by Double Glazing

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2010

That awful time of year is upon us once again and no I don’t mean Christmas. If you were pleasantly surprised by your last energy bill don’t be fooled, as I am every year - remember that the bill would be for your last quarter (July – September), so sadly folks it won’t be long until the dreaded (October – December) bill comes crashing through the letterbox or down your broadband connection and you’ll have to pay the price for being all warm and cosy during the colder weather.

Don’t be disheartened, there is a solution!  Double glazing can reduce your energy use enormously.  Your heating bills can be shrunk by scrapping those drafty old timber windows and installing new double glazed windows.  Not only will you make a saving on your energy use, heating bills and carbon footprint, but your property will instantly become more desirable and could increase in value. 

Admittedly, energy prices are perhaps a little out of our control at the moment, but you certainly can control how much of it you use!

UK Community Competition Launched

Friday, July 10th, 2009

The government are backing a new competition launched this month designed to promote energy efficiency within Britain’s communities.  

British Gas who are currently spear heading the environmental message, will donate £2 million to be distributed amongst community groups best able to make use of measures such as double glazing and insulation.

The scheme is designed to help generate energy-saving ideas for public buildings throughout the UK.

Yet more proof that simple measures like double glazing, really can make a difference in reducing the nations carbon emissions not to mention our heating bills!
