uPVC Windows and Doors Save Heating Costs.
uPVC windows and doors provide the best opportunity for you to make massive savings on your heating bills in these recessionary times.
It has been estimated the 20% of your heat can be dissipated and lost through badly insulated windows. Therefore the obvious choice would be to consider uPVC windows with a choice of double glazing or triple glazing.
You might argue that in the throes of a recession is NOT the time to be considering replacing your windows, but a 20% heat loss annually would add up to a considerable bill over a period and also you do not have to replace all of your windows at one time. Inspect those that are in the worst repair and those that you feel the most heat loss my be leaking from. Chances are they will be the same windows. Firstly because of their condition and secondly because they are probably the windows that are facing the worst of the climatic elements each winter.
Additionally, you could further limit your changes to the rooms you are using most such as the living areas, as these are the rooms that you have the heating on in for the longest periods.
In addition to your windows, I know many people that are sitting in their warm living room at night and shiver at the thought of having to go out into their entrance hall to answer the front door. The reason for this is a badly sealed front door and therefore freezing hall. The biggest problem with an entrance hall that has a low temperature is that it invariably connects with most other rooms in the house, so every time you open your bedroom door, or your sitting room door, etc, warm air is going out into the hall and cold air is going in. This is a problem that should be high on your list of priorities to solve if you want to lower your heating costs.
If you are considering changing to uPVC windows and doors, choose products that are rated energy efficient and do not forget to shop around – there are bargains to be had out there!
