On the first sign of draughts being present within your home, condensation occurring in between window panes, frames starting to rot or stick, or window performance diminishing, it’s telling you that your old windows need updating. This is often required after 20-25 years with double glazing and 40 years for older window frames.
Not all instances of this type necessitate a window replacement, but most do, especially if double glazing is over 20 years old or windows are 40 years in age and you want utmost comfort, energy efficiency and reliance.
Heating bills can be cut by £140 annually with the installation of A-rated double glazing. How much it costs to fit will be dependent on window sizes, frame and glazing choice and the extent of installation.
Old windows are best replaced ahead of autumn – read on to discover why.
Why Getting New Windows Fitted Before Autumn Makes Sense
Customer interest in our window replacements often accelerates during the autumn season, so it’s a good idea to get them a bit earlier in case of extended lead and appointment times.
Leaving things until weather temperatures drop could cause you to be left sitting in the cold, when what you urgently need is an energy-efficient living environment.
Resolving to have new windows before autumn will have the space fully winter ready.
How New Windows Affect Energy Efficiency and Heating Costs
If there comes a point where your energy bills and energy consumption keep rising, but general fuel prices are fairly static, it’s a sign to get new windows installed.
Heat sneaks out of windows in three ways – via the glazing, window frame and seals around the frame. It won’t be able to once you have modern, energy-efficient windows fitted as their enhanced glazing curtails thermal transfer, the insulated frame limits conductive heat loss, and the airtight seals preserve heat and stem draughts.
A £140 annual saving on heating costs is achievable, according to the Energy Saving Trust, if you switch to A-rated double glazing.
More Than Just an Energy Saving Measure
A homeowner often explores replacement windows to tackle increasing energy costs, but in addition to their impressive thermal efficiency, they can also strengthen security, elevate aesthetics and increase buyer appeal.
Modern windows are characterised by their hard frames, sophisticated locks and tough glazing, and the style they inject could be a decisive factor in someone deciding to purchase the house from you.
Admittedly, a pursuit of greater energy efficiency in the home is why lots of people look to window replacements as a solution. However, it needs stressing that UPVC windows and aluminium windows will also minimise heat loss, increase warmth and bring down fuel bills.
Do the sensible thing and order your new windows from Mid Wales now rather than wait.
