From High Heating Bills to Low-Cost Living
As a window specialist in Ewell, I have had the privilege of helping many families improve the energy efficiency of their homes. But there’s one particular case that stands out in my mind, a family who had been struggling with high heating bills during the cost of living crisis.
The family, a couple with two young children, were living in a beautiful but drafty old house that just couldn’t keep the warmth inside. They were using their central heating almost constantly just to keep the place warm, and even then, they were still feeling cold. And with the higher prices on gas, they were finding it harder and harder to make ends meet.
When I first visited their home, I could see straight away that the windows were the main problem. They were old, single-paned, and had gaps that let the cold air in and the warm air out. I knew that if we could improve the windows, we could improve the family’s living situation significantly.
I recommended that they switch to UPVC double and triple glazed windows. These windows are designed to be energy-efficient and to keep the warm air inside the house. I explained to the family that UPVC windows are also very low maintenance and will last a long time. The family was hesitant at first, but after seeing the difference in their heating bills, they were pleased with the decision.
After the installation of the new windows, the family noticed an immediate improvement. They were able to turn off their central heating and still feel warm and comfortable in their home. The family was thrilled with the results and couldn’t believe how much of a difference it made to the overall comfort of their home. They were even more thrilled when they received their next energy bill, which was significantly lower than the previous one.
Quieter Living, Happier Family
The family also had a problem with noise pollution as they lived on a busy and noisy road. I explained to them that the UPVC windows would also provide better soundproofing. They were delighted to find that the new windows helped to block out a lot of the outside noise, making their home a much more peaceful and quieter place to live.
In addition to the window upgrade, I also resealed some of the older windows to improve the soundproofing and heat retention. The family was thrilled with the results and couldn’t believe how much of a difference it made to the overall comfort of their home. The parents could finally relax in the evenings and the kids could play and study without being disturbed by traffic noise.
Ewell Double Glazing
In conclusion, upgrading to UPVC windows can provide numerous benefits, including energy efficiency, heat retention, noise reduction and soundproofing. The family I helped in Ewell is just one example of how a simple upgrade can make a significant impact on a family’s day-to-day life. I am proud to have been able to help this family improve the comfort of their home, and I look forward to helping other families in the area do the same.
