Beating the Energy Price Hike

Leading double glazing specialists Planet South Lakes help homeowners in the North West reduce energy prices at a time of increased financial pressures.
Based in Kendal, the company supply professionally fitted double glazed uPVC windows and doors across Cumbria & Lancashire and more prominently in the Morecambe Bay area between Barrow and Lancaster, which is particularly vulnerable to the elements.

Research has shown that uPVC double glazing halves heat loss through windows and doors and can save between £80 and £100 on the average heating bill.  Professionally fitted double glazing increases a homes energy efficiency which in turn increases the value of the property, a worthy consideration bearing in mind the current instability in the UK’s housing market.

Thousands of British homes still have poor insulation and inadequate heating.  This sad fact coupled with the potential rise of gas and electricity bills by up to 40% this winter means having double glazed doors and windows fitted is now more important than ever.

Approximately half of the UK’s CO2 emissions come from the energy we use every day in our homes, so cutting down on domestic energy usage not only saves the average household up to £100 on their energy bills, but also contributes significantly to cutting CO2 emissions in the UK.

Replacing all of a household’s windows and doors with double glazed units may be an unrealistic concept, especially if you’re on a tight budget, however, replacing only the windows in the rooms which get the most use and the front door will still help reduce your annual heating bills by a significant amount.

Planet’s uPVC windows and doors live up to the highest standards and surpassed rigorous wind speed and snow load tests in January 2008. A spokes person for Planet South Lakes commented on the current energy saving initiative;

“We’ve seen a steady increase in trade and enquiries over the last few years which shows the British public are keen to increase the energy efficiency of their homes and protect themselves against future rises in energy costs.”

Planet South Lakes are a registered FENSA double glazing installer, meaning their double glazed windows and doors meet current British standards and building regulations.
