Bingley Windows and Glass understand that winter can be an expensive time when it comes to heating your property. Utilising the below methods to conserve energy and prevent heat loss will not only assist in retaining warmth within your home. But will also help you to save money on your heating bills:

Conserve Energy with Proper Insulation

First and foremost, you need to pinpoint the main areas where you can and should conserve energy. Doors and windows can be major problem zones for heat loss within a property. Whilst it is common for builders to install double glazed windows in contemporary homes. Older properties still have windows that are only single glazed. 

Bingley Windows cannot advocate enough the long-term benefits of investing in double glazing. It includes increased comfort, better insulation, soundproofing from the outdoors, to name a few. We know it can be difficult to find new windows that fit discreetly into your home. That’s why our windows boast an ‘A’ grade energy efficiency. They come in a range of colours, trims and woodgrains to suit a broad range of properties.

Prevent Heat Loss by Draught Proofing

Improperly sealed windows, exposed keyholes, and letterboxes in your front door. These are just some of the major culprits for encouraging warm air to escape. Draught proofing your windows and doors is an excellent way to prevent heat loss and block cold air. Small changes can make a difference. Start by inspecting your windows. Use a sealant or brush strips where necessary to close up any gaps. 

Purchasing a cover for your keyhole is a quick and cost-effective solution to conserve energy. Whilst a draught excluder for your letterbox will ensure that the arrival of your post doesn’t cause unnecessary loss of warmth. Furthermore, brush strips installed at the bottom of your door provide an excellent barrier against the elements. They can be purchased in many hardware stores.

 

Hang up Curtains

Roman blinds can look elegant on your windows but unfortunately, they do not contribute to energy efficiency. We recommend putting up heavy or thermal curtains to create an area of insulation between the room and your window. Always ensure that they are fitted as close as possible to the window. Keeping your curtains closed when your central heating or radiators are turned on will help to conserve energy and therefore preserve residual heat for the night.
