Few Investments Repay You Like Double Glazing

If rumours and the predictions of experts are to be believed, we could soon be paying upwards of 2,000 pounds per year on our energy bills, a staggering figure we are sure you will agree. It does not seem that much of a crazy projection when you analyse how much bills have gone up in price over the past 6-7 years. As recent as 2006, the average annual energy bill stood at around 600-700 pounds per year, whereas it now sits at a figure of 1,350 per year! One of the most negative aspects of this has been that the number of people living in fuel poverty has grown far quicker than anyone could have predicted.
It is estimated that over 6 million people find themselves in fuel poverty; classed as being when a homeowner is forced to pay out 10 per cent or more of their regular earnings on energy bills. This perfectly demonstrates how huge an impact rising fuel has had on a large portion of the country.
Have you considered whether your home is as energy efficient as it could be? If not, then you should do as the last thing you want to be doing at a time like this is paying more for energy than you have to.
But how do you go about rectifying the problem? Well as long as making a conscious effort to use less energy in your home where possible, you should install double glazing in Edinburgh, double glazing in Livingston or double glazing Penicuik.
Turning off appliances that are not in use, cutting down on the number of hot showers you take and only boiling your kettle as much as you need to, when done at the same time as installing new windows will inevitably lead to a slashing of your energy bills.
Double glazed windows contain two panes of glass which can work to conserve energy far better than a single pane. With more heat in your home and less chance of it escaping, you will not have to work your boiler to excess which means less energy produced and cheaper bills in the long run.
If more of us made more of an effort to control our energy usage, we would not be facing the constant rise in prices that have brought people to their knees financially.
Do your bit for Scotland and let us not waste our energy.
