Look To Energy Efficient Windows & Doors To Try And Lower Your Energy Bills

Cut your energy bills

With everything from food to fuel rising in price, homeowners everywhere are feeling the pinch, especially as energy prices have shot up to levels that are simply unheard of.

The price cap recently increased to £1971, which is the most money an energy company can bill you for the amount of gas and electricity your household uses. 

Prior to April 1st, the most an energy company could charge would be £1277. This is a huge 54% rise and there are likely to be further rises in October.

In the past, homeowners would see this an opportunity to shop around for cheaper suppliers but the lowest cost fixed tariff is currently an eye-watering £2800, so that may not be an option. 

However, we have a long-term solution for you.

The October price cap increase is just six months away, but this should give you enough time to get energy efficient windows and doors installed by Pennine. Experts estimate that the price will then be capped at £2600.

Take action now to hopefully protect yourself from any further price increases.

Energy Efficient Windows

Did you know that badly insulated windows are the cause of 18% of heat loss in your home? The heat that you pay so much for in heating bills escapes through the glass or around the window frames.

If you want a trick to see how your windows are performing, hold a handle close to your window to see if the flame flickers. You may also notice moisture, mould and cracks in the sealant, which would suggest they need upgrading.

You’ll be relieved to know that Pennine’s thermally efficient windows are rated A+ as standard. This means they are good for preventing heat loss and inviting the sun’s warmth into your home. They could help you save every year.

Energy Efficient Doors

Similarly, doors play a big part in keeping your home energy efficient. Your outdated door could be a big cause of heat loss. You can hold a candle up to your door to check this.

Before upgrading your door, it’s important to check the U-value of the new door as this will indicate how much heat can escape through it. Replacement doors must achieve a U-value of 1.8 W/m², according to current Building Regulations. 

The lower the number for U-value, the better it is about retaining heat inside your home. Every Pennine door has a low U-value for this very purpose.
