The Met Office has released a weather warning to say that there is more snow on the way for much of the UK. Heavy snow fall has already caused travel chaos, forced many schools to close and cut off power supplies. Whilst for children and families that live in well insulated homes this can mean that schools are closing early for Christmas and there is lots of fun to be had building snow men and sledging. If you live in a home which is not well insulated it can be a totally different story. Not been able to keep your home warm can be very miserable.
Recent research shows that much of the UK housing stock has inadequate insulation. Up to 25% of the heat generated in a home can be lost through poorly insulated windows. This means that in order to keep your home warm you will need to turn your central heating up. As the cost of gas and electricity continues to rise turning your heating up can be very costly. Not to mention that turning the heating up will also mean that your home generates more carbon dioxide which is thought to be a major cause of global warming.
If however you were to install ‘A’ rated energy efficient double glazing the amount of heat lost from your home would be reduced considerably. This would allow you to turn your heating down saving you money on your gas and electricity bills and helping to protect the environment for future generations.
