Purchase Double Glazing In Bristol In Readiness For Higher Energy Bills
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>If you thought the cost of your fuel bills may stabilise or even drop this coming winter then we have bad news for you. Experts are warning that the price of wholesale gas is set to soar by possibly as much as 28 per cent due to the earthquake suffered in Japan last year after supplies of liquefied natural gas were sent to the Far East to compensate for the closure of nuclear power reactors.
It is being predicted that the after-effects of this move could be felt in the UK well into 2013 which could well mean that fuel poverty figures continue to increase and homeowners are given no other choice but to sacrifice heat in the home even when they need it most. This could then result in the health of many being put at risk.
Over the coming months, many of us will save vast quantities…
Landlords Advised To Install Energy Efficient Measures
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>The UK rental market is extremely competitive at the moment due to an increase in the number of people looking to rent and decrease in those looking to buy. This presents a great opportunity to landlords and one which they should capitalise on.
However, energy company E.ON has found that an estimated 2.4million tenants are missing out on energy savings of up to £400 a year due to the failure of landlords to install energy efficient measures. This works out at a collective £990 million a year.
More and more tenants are becoming aware of the need to be energy efficient in the home so those landlords who are failing to install double glazing in Newport really aren’t doing themselves any favours.
If you can show to tenants that you have installed a new set of windows or insulation, there may be more of a possibility…
Big Switch Deadline Put Back Till May
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>The deadline for the collective energy switching campaign Big Switch as organised by consumer group Which? has been delayed until 9th May. By this time, energy companies will have to had put forward their most competitive energy tariff as Which? looks to help homeowners with meeting the cost of their energy bills.
So far only E.ON and Co-operative Energy have confirmed that they will take part in the scheme but only after E.ON stated that they wouldn’t get involved in a price war and Co-operative Energy were told that they only had to put forward their existing best tariff so as not to alienate existing custom.
Other leading energy companies including British Gas, SSE, Ecotricity, Ovo and Utilia have already confirmed that they will not be entering the bidding process and there has been criticism from some who claim that Which? are not being transparent enough about how much they…
Now Is The Time To Make Home Improvements
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>It has been a long time coming but the sun is finally shining across the whole of the UK. When the weather warms up it gives us the urge to spend more time outdoors as there is nothing like having the sun on your back. At this time of year it is the ideal time to stand outside your home and assess whether any form of improvements are required so that you can go into the summer season with a beautiful-looking home.
It is only when you take time to look at the exterior of your home that you really appreciate what needs doing to help make it look more aesthetically-pleasing. Sometimes you will notice that the roofline is in severe need of a repainting, your garden needs trimming or it could be that your windows and doors have seen better days.
Once windows and doors become unsightly you know…
Ofgem Lay Down The Law To Big Six Energy Suppliers
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Up until now the big six energy suppliers in the UK have had free licence to raise the cost of energy bills, something which they have taken full advantage of. The average annual energy bill for a UK family now stands at around £1,250 a year, double what it cost just 10 years ago and the number of people living in fuel poverty now stands at an astonishing 5.5 million.
But this could all be about to change as energy watchdog Ofgem has ordered the nation’s energy suppliers to cut their tariffs otherwise run the risk of having a mandatory cap put on prices so that householders can no longer be ‘ripped off’.
The Big Six consist of EDF, E.on, British Gas, Southern, Scottish Power and npower.
The news comes at a time when despite one of the mildest winters in recent memory, many of the major energy suppliers have…
Conservatories In Gloucester – Bringing Sunshine Indoors
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>It is perfectly understandable to be a little enviable of those who live in warmer climes. Exposure to the sun is a proven way of putting a smile on your face. It somehow helps you get out of bed a little easier each morning and puts you in a favourable mood for the day ahead. However, exploiting natural light in the home can be difficult, unless of course you own a conservatory.
Conservatories in Gloucester are in the ideal spot for soaking in the rays of the sun indoors as they come positioned in a spot favourable to natural light. When the sun comes into direct contact with a conservatory you will find that the whole room illuminates and makes it feel incredibly comforting and massively spacious.
Anybody worried about glare can install a set of stylish blinds so that the sun never dazzles your eyesight and spoils your enjoyment…
Don’t Stay Cold This Winter – Get Replacement Windows
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>With the arrival of winter many homes within the Bristol and Gloucestershire areas may begin to start feeling the cold as inefficient windows become useless at keeping the cold out. The need for replacement windows becomes much more apparent as the temperature begins to slowly dip below freezing and many wish they had done something about this problem earlier in the year.
Greenway know only too well the importance of energy efficient windows as they have been supplying and installing double glazing and UPVC windows throughout Gloucestershire and Herefordshire for over thirty years.
Energy efficient windows help to save you money in the long term as they reduce the amount of heat that is lost from your home. This means that you rely less on your central heating system to warm your property. Greenway’s A-rated windows work so effectively that virtually no heat…
Replacement Windows Cut Your Dependence On Energy
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Expensive energy bills are a grave concern for the vast majority of UK householders as the cost of heating their property goes up on a regular basis. The more draughts become evident in the home, the more often you need to use your heating system, which then leads to energy bills spiralling out of control.
But those who do suffer with draughty windows are usually those who have yet to exchange their old windows for newer equivalents. Traditional windows simply aren’t up to the job of keeping out cold air and utilising the heat your boiler generates effectively. Rather than simply accept this, you should take the initiative and install replacement windows as soon as you can afford to.
With winter on the horizon, double glazing in Gloucester will ensure that any heat created in your home gets put to good use and…
Beat The Big Six With Double Glazing In Gloucester
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>You may have heard that Energy Minister Chris Huhne announced plans at the Liberal Democrats party conference that he intends to get tough with UK energy companies. This will be welcome news for many homeowners as all six major energy suppliers have increased their prices over the past few months.
His plans include making it easier for smaller energy suppliers to compete in the market, to improve competition and widen consumer choice. These measures are all well and good but it doesn’t get away from the fact that conventional energy is in short supply, meaning that the cost of it is unlikely to ever decrease a considerable amount.
Therefore it is up to the homeowner to take the initiative themselves and install energy efficient measures in their home such as double glazing in Gloucester. Replacement windows are a proven way of driving down the…
Replacement Windows Prevent High Energy Bills
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>The high cost of energy is leaving thousands of us out of pocket. Even when taking measures such as always ensuring that electrical appliances are switched off and investing energy saving light bulbs, a huge number of people still find themselves struggling to pay their monthly bills. But accepting high energy bills as the norm should never be an option, especially when replacing your windows helps.
It has been proven that traditional windows become less reliable when it comes to keeping out cold air and storing heat as they get older. Frames weaken and the glass simply doesn’t have the ability to deflect outside air away from your home. They also lose their aesthetic qualities as the paint starts to rot and flake away.
This is where replacement windows come in as they are certain to massively cut the cost of your fuel bills. They are so…
