The Big Six Attempt To Lure Back Customers With Financial Incentives
Author: Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>The rising cost of energy has forced thousands of UK homeowners to turn their backs on many of our major energy suppliers as they seek to find a more affordable tariff.
Consumer experts uSwitch guess that around 35,500 households have switched from a big-name supplier to a small-scale supplier in the past month alone. This has been a growing trend ever since the cost of household gas and electricity went beyond the means of many.
Whilst this is great news for homeowners looking to save money on energy and suppliers looking to bring an end to the over-arching dominance of the ‘Big Six’, it has not been such great news for companies such as British Gas, Eon, Scottish Power etc.
However many of the ‘Big Six’ are fighting back.

Author: Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>If your home is not fully prepared for winter the last thing you need is for draughts to make their way into your private living space. Suffering with a chilly living room or bedroom is the last thing you want when you get up first thing in the morning or get in from work. A double glazing dealer can help you eliminate cold draughts forever by fitting and installing a new set of windows at your property.

Show Little Hesitation In Purchasing Double Glazing
Author: Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>Double glazing is held in very low regard by thousands of UK homeowners. Many see it as being an unnecessary evil, whilst others give it little thought due to the low-esteem with which many double glazed salesman are held. To give it such short shrift would be irresponsible as it is a guaranteed way of reducing the cost of heating bills and increasing the energy efficiency of a property.
Replacement windows are a fantastic long-term investment as they have a life expectancy of at least 20 years, during which time they will provide your home with the warmth it needs all-year round. It also means that you will no longer need to give your windows regular maintenance as the frames will no longer require a re-painting every few years and wear and tear will not be evident.

Author: Double Glazing Expert | Leave a Comment >>With the recent announcement from EDF Energy that they are planning to reduce their gas prices by 5%, many households will be taking a closer look at their energy bills, assessing if there are any savings to be made by switching suppliers. However using this approach to keep your bills down isn’t always wise as there are no guarantees that the prices will remain at that reduced cost.

By helping to keep more heat within your home, you will have to use your boiler and central heating system less often to keep your property warm and cosy. A good place to start in the quest for energy efficiency is through installing double glazing or triple glazing throughout your property.
