First Utility Rain On Co-Operative Energy Parade
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>It was announced last week that Co-Operative Energy had come out on top in the Big Switch after the energy firm put forward the most competitive fixed price tariff despite stiff competition. Their tariff, costing £1,048 per year, was officially crowned the cheapest deal around.
That is until fellow energy player First Utility revealed that they would be launching a brand new tariff which is fixed until 30th September 2013 and works out at £1 cheaper than Co-Operative Energy’s offering.
Though a short-lived reign for Co-Operative Energy, the real winners following the unveiling of this news are undoubtedly UK homeowners, something which Tom Lyon, energy expert at uSwitch.com is in full agreement with:
“This is what competition is about. The Big Switch winning bid was limited to the first 30,000 people – First Utility spotted the opportunity and grasped it with both hands by bringing out a market-leading deal.

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…
E.ON Become First Supplier To Commit To Big Switch
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Which?’s Big Switch campaign has so far not received the level of support that the consumer group expected or hoped to attract from the big six suppliers after British Gas and Scottish and Southern Energy confirmed they would not be taking part. However, there is a glimmer of hope for the scheme after E.ON became the first of the Big Six to compete in the auction.
But E.ON have only agreed to get involved in the initiative after listing a couple of provisos prior to the auction taking place.
This includes confirmation that should they win the auction they will not only offer the winning tariff to the 250,000 customers who have signed up to the Big Switch, but they will also offer it to their existing 4.8 million residential customers in the interests of fairness.
E.ON’s marketing director Jeremy Davies also says that the company will refuse to get…
A Greenway Glass Extension Gives Your More Home To Love
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Research conducted by findaproperty.com has found that more than a quarter of UK homes are too small for its occupants. Because of the costs associated with moving home thousands of families are forced into staying in properties where space is no longer available, resulting in 24% of children left with no choice but to share a room.
29% of parents readily accept that their property is too small to live in but as property analyst for findaproperty.com Samantha Baden explains many people simply cannot afford to go elsewhere:
“Very few families can afford to buy or rent a property that meets their exact size and location requirements, and as a result, they are often forced to compromise on one or the other.”
In certain cases it may not be affordability that prevents homeowners from purchasing a larger property but it could come down to the fact that they cannot…

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…

The glass used throughout the extension will help to bring an enormous amount of natural sunlight into your brand new living area and will create the impression that there is more space available than…
Greenway Double Glazing Is The Best Way To Beat Energy
Author: Conservatories & Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>As energy prices continue to rise, many quarters have predicted that this will drive UK homeowners towards other sources of energy such as renewable energy. While it is safe to say that some people will look to take this route, the vast majority of people cannot afford to invest in heat pumps, solar panels etc.
Although there are savings to be made from such systems, the likelihood of you managing to recoup any of your initial investment will not be evident until at least 20-25 years down the line, if at all! Many people have to borrow in order to be able to afford renewable energy sources and some simply will not want such loans hanging over their heads.
Instead they should be looking into something more affordable and just as reliable at keeping their homes warm when they need it most. Greenway has a perfect solution in the form…
