See Off Fuel Poverty With Planet Windows

Fuel poverty figures are at their highest ever level, figures that coincide with the rising cost of energy in the past few years. A household is deemed as living in fuel poverty when the cost of their gas and electricity bill accounts for roughly 10% of their outgoings, something which has struck millions of UK families, a total of around 6 million.

However, the blame cannot be solely put at the doorstep of the major energy companies as there is a worldwide dearth of fossil fuels nowadays, which has given many of them no other choice but to raise prices and pass on the cost to homeowners. Such is the shortage of gas supplies that the UK now relies on much of it from other countries.

This lack of traditional fuel is part of the reason why there has been an increased push to get more people to invest in renewable technology and an increased amount of investment into wind farms and alike. And things are only set to get worse in the future, with more homes set to slip into fuel poverty in the future.

Now rather than panic, you should be looking into ways of making your home more energy efficient so that it doesn’t waste a single bit of energy and helps to bring down the cost of your energy bills so that you can stay out of fuel poverty.

Planet South Lakes strongly suggests that anyone living in a home with old, draughty windows, gets them changed and purchases double glazing in Penrith or double glazing in Workington instead as it is much more effective when it comes to offering insulation.

Those worried that a new set of windows won’t match the aesthetics of their existing window design shouldn’t worry. Visit one of our two showrooms to see just how special they are.
