Three Best Home Energy Efficiency Improvements for Hampshire Homes
2022 has been a real turning point for many homeowners across Hampshire, Surrey, Berkshire, and South-West London who want to improve their home’s energy performance. With the cost of energy skyrocketing to the highest levels we have ever seen, many want to invest now to save for the future.
Sustainability, looking after the environment and helping homeowners are crucial considerations at Sherborne Windows. So, let’s look at which type of home improvements can improve your home’s energy efficiency for long terms savings.
Energy-efficient home improvements
Insulating your home maintains consistent home temperatures. This is vital to making your home more energy efficient, and it can be straightforward changes, such as draught proofing your windows and doors to significant home improvement projects. If you want to make long-lasting home improvements, we’ve got advice to help you create a perfect energy-efficient home.
New energy-efficient windows
Reduce your heating bills with energy-efficient windows. Sherborne‘s windows are available in A++, A+, and A ratings meaning our energy-saving windows are more effective than ever. Every window is tested and rated, so you know exactly how effective our windows are at keeping out the cold, retaining heat and saving you money.
All our windows achieve an A rating or higher. They gain more of the sun’s free energy than they lose by stopping thermal transfer. Ratings of A+ and A++ are also possible with our Casement, Flush Casement, Sash Windows, Tilt and Turn, and Bay Windows, available in aluminium, uPVC, and timber. Our A+ double-glazed window options make the most of solar energy, while our triple-glazed options, offering up to an A++, offer the best result in reducing heat loss. By installing Sherborne windows, your home will be as warm as possible while saving you money simultaneously.
Energy-efficient home doors
A fundamental problem with old doors is their energy efficiency. Whether or not your doors are old, they can let in a draught if they aren’t made from modern materials. Older doors could cost you money on your heating bills as a new energy-efficient door can help your home retain heat, reducing the overall effect on your heating bills. After all, having less heat escaping your property means you won’t need to have the heating so high this winter.
You can now get ultra-efficient entrance doors when you weigh up all the benefits that quality uPVC, timber, aluminium, and composite door materials can provide. Offering A+ energy ratings, you’ll instantly notice the difference in temperature, comfort, and overall atmosphere.
Energy-efficient doors can include:
Energy-efficient replacement conservatory roofs
Conservatory owners will often spend a lot of expensive energy to heat or cool a conservatory so it can be used comfortably throughout the year. Whether you need to heat it in the winter or cool it during the summer, all of this will cost you energy and isn’t great for the environment.
Insulated replacement conservatory roofs will help reduce your home’s energy consumption and can include glass, tile, and solid roof options. The insulation inside the replacement conservatory roof helps limit heat transfer through the roof, which means that the conservatory will stay cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter and will have little need for your heaters and fans. In the process, you gain a more usable room and a much more attractive energy bill.
Is investing in energy-efficient home improvements worth it?
The importance of homes being energy efficient will only increase in the future, and our research shows buyers are willing to invest in their homes now to save in the long term. From reducing energy bills to increasing buyer appeal, energy-efficient home improvements are an investment which homeowners shouldn’t overlook. Even if you’re not planning to sell your property in the near future, energy-efficient home improvements will ultimately help you save money on your energy bills.
