Improving our home in time for the winter months ahead has long been something we have done to make sure our family is kept warm.
This year there should be an even more important reason to make those all-important home improvements – to save money on your bills.
Steve Rawding, Sales and Marketing Director at leading South East home improvement company SEH BAC, says energy efficiency is something homeowners are now thinking about more, particularly with energy bills rising sharply. “Aesthetics has historically been the most important thing for consumers when getting home improvements but that is changing and how they perform from an energy saving standpoint is now a major consideration,” said Steve.
With experts forecasting the October energy price cap could rise by up to 78%, taking the average annual energy bill to a staggering £3,500, and another 4% rise in energy prices in the first quarter of next year too, the scale and extent of the challenges facing households is set to get even tougher.
“It means that homeowners need to think seriously about reducing their energy spend and their bills to cope,” said Steve. The good news for homeowners is that upgrading their windows and doors is the most instantly rewarding way of keeping the heat in and energy proofing a home. Windows and exterior doors are vulnerable points for heat to escape or the cold to enter and for most houses, windows typically account for 10% of total heat lost.
“Improving the thermal performance of your home will increase your home’s comfort and reduce energy consumption,” added Steve.
Keeping those energy bills down while enhancing your home’s energy efficiency is cheaper than you think and to help SEH BAC is offering up to 40% off windows, doors, conservatories and extensions, with an option to buy now and pay nothing until 2023.
