Try And Make Energy Bills Less Of A Worry With New Windows & Doors
It’s uncharted territory for homeowners at present due to rising food prices and a massive hike in the cost of energy bills.
Everyone is affected by the recent 54% increase of the price cap, which is now at £1971, compared to £1277 prior to April 2022. This price cap will change again in October and Martin Lewis, along with other industry experts, suggest that it will hit £2600, possibly upwards of £3000 in the worst-case scenario. If you’re thinking of switching supplier, the best fixed tariff you will find right now costs about £2800. But, you’re not completely out of solutions as the installation of energy efficient windows and doors could have a positive impact on your future fuel bills, which we’ll explain further.
Energy Efficient Windows
Losing heat through your windows will work against you, with statistics showing that old windows can be a cause of heat loss.
If you can’t tell if your windows are losing heat, stand near them and see if you can feel any hint of a draught coming in. Also, look at the windows and watch out for moisture or mould, cracks in the sealant etc. common signs of heat loss.
As most of our window products have an A+ energy rating as standard, you possibly won’t need to be as concerned about heat escaping anymore after they’re fitted as they will hopefully keep it trapped and bring the sun’s warmth in too. This may result in an annual saving.
Energy Efficient Doors
Old, ageing doors are just as culpable for heat loss. To identify if your front and / or back door is, just perform the same tests as we suggest for your windows.
James Oliver, like other door specialists, can only sell replacement doors with a minimum U-value of 1.8 W/m², otherwise they would not be compliant with Building Regulations. A low U-value tells you that the insulating standards of a door are high.
That’s what you can expect when buying a new door from us once it has been installed in place of your existing door’s.
You will receive a 10-year guarantee when you purchase new windows and doors from James Oliver, so for at least a decade, they might be a big energy-saver. If you request a quote and order them promptly, we can have them installed ahead of October in preparation for the next price cap jump.
