Replacement Crittall Windows Improve Home Efficiency In Wake Of Recent Energy Price Hikes

Nov. 21, 2013 - PRLog -- It’s a well-known fact that older homes with original windows cost more to heat during the winter months thanks to drafts, poor insulation, air gaps and heat escaping through broken seals. These striking original traditional features may make a home look incredibly attractive, but the fuel bills which go hand in hand with having older windows certainly add a far less attractive feature into the mix.

The ever-rising cost of heating our homes is no new issue, but yet more recent price increases have left many home owners wondering where it will end and how much more the price of gas and electricity will go up.

While many millions of UK households have naturally become worried by the steep rises in energy bills, some of those who have become particularly concerned include owners of older homes which still have the original windows in place all around the UK.

Many of these households will have noticed that their bills especially have risen to astronomical rates - higher than those of comparable neighbouring homes which have invested in replacement windows - as a result of their homes’ low energy efficiency.

Replacing original Crittall windows with new ones is undoubtedly a very worthwhile investment, says Sharon Boxall at Mettherm Windows. “Everyone is waiting for the government to take action on regulating energy prices. While we’re waiting though, there are things home owners can do to safeguard themselves against ever-increasing heating bills and improve their homes’ efficiency rating to curb their spend on energy.

“Understandably replacing the windows throughout an entire home is a significant investment, but there are a number of long-term benefits which make it a smart move. New Crittall windows are specifically designed to preserve the look and feel of the original windows, as well as greatly improving the heat retention of a home. The energy used to heat the home is then kept inside, rather than quite literally going out the window. The heating system then doesn’t need to work as hard and uses less energy to heat the home, which can go a long way to bring the bills down. Householders may not be able to exert any control over the energy companies’ prices, but they can make sure their homes are as energy efficient as possible to help make their bills more affordable.”
