Over the last ten years the cost of gas and electricity has increased at an alarming rate. Every time we open our utility bills the cost seems to be increasing. Coupled with this we are all becoming more aware of global warming and the negative effects our energy consumption is having on the planet. These factors are leading many people to take stock and consider their households consumption levels. Although it is highly publicised the effect of transportation on the environment our homes are also huge contributors to carbon emissions. In our homes generating heat to keep them warm is by far the biggest use of energy. Therefore if we can cut down on the amount of heat that we need to generate to keep our homes warm we can save money and help to protect the environment.

Up to 25% of the heat generated in a home can be lost through inefficient windows and doors. However by installing ‘A’ rated energy efficient double glazed windows and doors you can reduce the amount of heat lost considerably. As the name suggests double glazing works by having two panes of glass which are sealed together in a unit. A small gap is left between the two panes of glass which is filled with a special gas. It is this gap which acts as an insulator and helps to keep the heat locked inside the property. As less heat is escaping from your property you are able to turn your heating down helping to protect the environment and save you money.

By far the most popular type of frames for double glazing are uPVC frames. These are highly energy efficient as there are no gaps for draughts. They are also very low maintenance, timber framed windows and doors need to be treated every few years to prevent them from rotting and warping. Whereas with uPVC frames there is no such maintenance required simply wash them with a cloth and warm soapy water from time to time and they will stay looking great for many years to come.

If you are keen to save money on your gas and electricity bills and improve the energy efficiency of your home then you should take the time out to consider installing A rated energy efficient double glazed uPVC windows and doors.

We have probably all at some time experienced the dreaded knock on the door by the double glazing salesperson and ignored it or made some sort of excuse to make them go away.

However, double glazing in Wales is not something which should be dismissed without some due consideration. Although it can be costly, as you have to pay not only for the windows but also their installation, many people are unaware of the huge amount of money it could save them. Over time double glazing pays for itself as it can prevent the amount of heat loss in the home, therefore reducing energy bills.

When buying windows for your home in Wales, the number of panels that open must be taken into account. Generally the more panels that open, the more expensive the window is likely to be.  On the other hand buying budget windows which have few opening panels can result in a reduction of the value of your property.  So make sure you buy appropriately for your home.

Security should also be high on your priority list as although most windows have multi-point locking systems, you should also look into those windows with a stronger locking mechanism in order to ensure that your home is protected adequately.

There are many different styles and materials available, so make sure that you explore neighbouring houses to see what looks good and what doesn’t, as your decision can hugely affect the overall look of your home.

Although it is rare and usually only required for old listed buildings, some homeowners will require planning permission before getting new windows installed.  It is a good idea before purchasing any windows to check with your local council that they are happy for you to go ahead with any window replacements at the home.

Finally, when buying any product or service you should always make sure that it comes from a reputable and reliable company. The window installation industry is no different. Ask friends and family if they know of any window installation companies within the local area who have done similar work for them so that you can be guaranteed of a job well done.

Matthew Glover, managing director of Conservatory Outlet says “double glazing is one of the most effective ways people can make a real difference to the energy efficiency of their homes. Indeed, by switching to energy efficient windows you can save energy and reduce your household bills by as much as £461 per year.”

Being green is an important topic in the UK and there are even proposals happening which will look to punish older homes that don’t meet a certain level of energy efficiency in their home.

Currently this would effect millions of homes in the UK. It could mean that some families would find it harder to sell their homes without first splashing out to upgrade their property, as well as affecting many who look to lease their properties.

But you shouldn’t need this push to improve your home. Energy rated windows are a great piece of modern technology and they will save a lot of money in bills and end up paying for themselves, whilst helping the environment.

Mid Wales Windows offer high quality energy efficient double glazed products at a competitive price.
