Properties lose heat through a number of outlets including the roof, windows, walls and floor. As such, energy efficiency has become incredibly important in order to trim heating bills and stay environmentally friendly. <\/p>\n
For windows, improving energy efficiency involves the installation of double glazing, triple glazing or even secondary glazing for listed buildings and properties in conservation areas. <\/p>\n
Energy efficiency of properties is now extremely important for those wanting to sell their home too. With ratings from A-G (A being the most efficient), potential buyers can see the efficiency of a property and work out energy bills before making an offer. <\/p>\n
The efficiency of homes is reflected in the Energy Performance Certificate (EPC), which also factors in renewable technology, particularly solar panels. To receive top income rates from the Government\u2019s feed-in tariff scheme concerning solar panels, properties must have an EPC of at least a D rating. <\/p>\n
The benefits of energy-efficient windows<\/strong><\/p>\n Of course, there is no set price for how much you\u2019d expect to pay on double glazing. Costs will differ between properties depending on the size of the window, the materials you choose to use and the installer who carries out the fitting. However, once installed you should expect the benefits of double glazing to last for more than 20 years. <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Facts & Figures You’ll Love To Share <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
