With rising fuel prices more and more people are taking steps to reduce their monthly fuel bills. One way to achieve this is by installing energy efficient double glazed windows.

Double glazing could save you money

When you are heating your home you don’t want that precious warmth to escape and lose you money, but unfortunately every property loses heat in some way and the main area where it escapes is through your windows. However, double glazed units could significantly help to reduce this heat loss.

Double glazed windows consist of two sheets of glass with either air or gas between them. Coral Windows have a range of energy efficient options including units filled with argon gas, which creates an insulating barrier to help keep heat in.

As the heat is more likely to stay in your home, double glazed units help you to save money on your energy bills as you will feel less need to turn on your central heating. In fact according to the Energy Savings Trust, simply by switching from single glazed windows to B-rated double glazed windows homeowners could save £165 per year on their bills. And, because the units last for years the savings can keep on growing – especially as double glazed windows can easily last for 20 years or more.

Double glazed units reduce the amount of draughts and cold spots in your home, and they also attract less condensation on the inside of the windows – all of which will help make your home feel warmer. This means that not only are you going to save money in the long-run but your home will feel cosier and nicer to live in, particularly in those long winter months.

It could help you sell or rent your home

Every time a home is sold, built or rented it needs to have an Energy Performance Certificate (EPC). This shows potential buyers or renters what the home’s energy use is, which will help them to consider what the likely energy costs will be. This means that if your home looks like it is performing badly on the EPC buyers or renters could be put off. Therefore, things like replacing single glazed units for double glazed windows could make a real difference to how your home looks to potential buyers or renters and could make it stand out from other properties.
