For the double glazing industry, the 1st October is a very significant date. This is the date where fitting energy rated windows with a minimum of a C rating becomes the standard, and law. This is part of the Government’s target to reduce homeowners’ carbon footprints. At B & P Windows we applaud every effort made to save tax payers money. However, for the last 18 months we have been going one step further and fitted energy efficient A rated windows as standard.
The advantages to fitting A rated windows rather than C rated ones are obvious. You save more on your fuel bills. Energy A rated windows actually create small amounts of heat through thermal gain, C rated ones don’t.
When you sell your home it sounds much better to advertise it with A rated windows instead of C rated windows. It automatically makes the property a more attractive buy.
You future proof yourself. Over the next few years the minium energy rating for replacement windows will go up further and is set to reach A ratings in the next few years. So why not fit A rated windows now? Also, council tax bands are due to be set depending on the energy efficiency of the property. A rated windows will certainly help towards keeping council tax as low as possible.
