Throughout 2012 not a day seemed to go by without one of the major energy companies declaring that they would be raising their prices. British Gas, EON, Scottish Power, EDF, you name it, they all at some point announced that they would be forced to increase energy bills and homeowners up and down the land would have to shoulder the burden.
For some property owners this was worse news than it was for others. Those who had yet to install double glazing in Bristol knew that they would be hardest hit by the news, whilst those with energy efficient windows already in place were already aware that this would have a lesser impact upon them.

One of the biggest gripes people used to have with the old-style of conservatory is that it would become too hot in summer and too cold in winter. This made it largely redundant for significant periods during the year and did a lot to put off other people from having one installed at their property.

However, an orangery needs to have appropriate air conditioning unit to make sure that the temperature inside the structure can be regulated.

British Gas have today announced that they will raising gas and electricity prices for the second time in just eight months, a move which is expected to affect up to 9 million customers.

Many of the 9 million customers affected by this news from British Gas will include those who have yet to install double glazing in their home.
A lack of double glazing in Bristol will be one of the chief reasons why homeowners energy bills are so high as old windows leak up to 20% of heat generated in the home. As our homes become cold due to draughty windows what is the natural instinct? To turn up the heating of course. This then drives up the cost of our heating bills.
All of this will be rectified…
Being a homeowner brings with it many different responsibilities and making ends meet can be hard at times. There are many different types of bill you will receive through the post and one of the most costly will be the price of your heating bills.

Double glazing will cut the cost of energy bills in an instant as little or no heat will be able to escape from your dwelling, meaning you can be less reliant on your boiler as your home will be consistently warm.…
