Many people have old, rotten wooden framed windows that are in desperate need of replacement. Regrettably, if this is the scenario with your home, then what you don’t realise is that you’re missing out on a much warmer, secure home, but in addition you’re also losing energy. This is due to the warmth you are receiving from your radiators and electric or gas heaters, is leaking out fast out of air gaps in your old windows. This needless to say means you should either turn up your heaters to a increased setting or leave them operating for longer, causing a waste of energy. 

Yet for those who do not have the money to acquire new double glazed goods, there’s a additional option open to you. The solution to your cold, winter nights is a grant! There are now funding and grants available from energy saving projects, making certain comfort during the winter months. Eligibility for a grant is dependent upon a number of components, including; your age, whether or not you claim benefits and your local authority. And for households more susceptible to fuel poverty, such as pensioners and those in receipt of benefits, there’s help for high energy bills through winter fuel payments.

Fitting double glazing via Kent double glazing will save close to £110 per year on your heating bills, according to Energy Saving Trust. There is also help designed for the over 60s or anyone with a disability who can also approach Care & Repair. This is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation which provides guidance on applying for grants in numerous local areas. Care and Repair not only assist with paperwork but also can organise quotes whilst also overseeing the work completed ensuring it’s been done properly.

If you don’t qualify for help and your finances are tight, you could choose to just double glaze the windows in individual rooms that are used most within your home, rather than your entire property.

A further energy saving option is to use long, thickly lined curtains, stopping heat from escaping through your windows.
