You know windows are getting old once you experience draughts in the home, condensation between window panes, the frames rot or stick, and deteriorating performance is noticeable – this is common in double glazing that’s 20-25 years old and window frames that are approaching 40 years old.
Replacement windows aren’t always a necessity in these circumstances, but a replacement is usually advocated if you want the very best in comfort, energy efficiency and reliability.
A-rated double glazing can herald a £140 reduction in annual heating costs, and its cost will be decided by what window sizes, material and glazing is requested, as well as the scope of the installation.
Upgrading old windows ahead of the autumn season is highly recommended – get ready to discover why.
Why a Pre-Autumn Window Installation Makes Sense
There’s often a surge of interest in energy-efficient windows during autumn as people realise their home isn’t warm enough.
The problem with only ordering windows right in the middle of autumn is that you miss out on thermal efficiency at a time when temperatures drop off and you really need it.
If your home is armed with new windows before autumn, it will give you an assurance that your home can cope with colder conditions.
The Effect Window Replacements Have on Heating
Your windows aren’t doing their job properly if your heating bills and consumption keep going up, but energy costs in general remain the same.
Windows let out heat in any of three different ways – through the glass, window frame or via the seals around the frame. That won’t happen with modern energy-efficient windows as they have enhanced glazing to restrict thermal transfer, an insulated frame to minimise conductive heat loss, and airtight seals that retain warmth and repel draughts.
The Energy Saving Trust have officially confirmed that A-rated double glazing can cut the average yearly heating bill by £140 when replacing old windows.
Enhanced Energy Isn’t All You’ll be Rewarded With
While window replacements are often sought after because of a yearning to reduce heating bills, they will also improve security, restore kerb appeal, and make your property more sellable.
The modern window system contains an uncompromising frame, advanced locking, resilient glazing, plus its elegant look could be enough to inspire a buyer to express an interest in purchasing your house if you decide to sell.
Energy efficiency is arguably the biggest asset of replacement windows, such as UPVC windows and aluminium windows, and it’s supplemented by heat retaining capabilities, an ability to harvest warmth and cut energy costs.
