This year’s cold weather season isn’t quite over yet – and neither is the increase in electricity bills. According to OFGEM, UK households could face a price increase of up to 50% during the remainder of this year.


While this is bad news, there are things you can do to minimise the impact of rising energy prices before next winter. For example, double-glazed windows can reduce heat loss and cut down the heating bill of a detached or semi-detached home by upwards of £100. When your double-glazed windows are in good condition, you’ll suffer less noise pollution and enjoy a comfortable and stress-free indoor environment. Double glazing can also raise your property’s value by up to 10%.


The Importance of Keeping Your Windows In Good Condition

The team at Harveys Windows are on-hand to provide double-glazed windows to help you save up to £100 on your heating bill.
The benefits only apply if double-glazed windows have intact seals. If the seals are damaged, the insulating effect of double glazing is significantly reduced. In most cases, you can expect double-glazed windows to last 20 years, although their lifespan could be lower depending on the materials used, how professional the installation was, any maintenance issues, and frequent exposure to harsh weather.
So how do you know if your double-glazed windows are no longer in a good condition? You may notice draughts in certain rooms, or windows leaks when it rains. Other signs include road noise coming through, condensation, or difficulties opening, closing, and locking the windows.

Can Double Glazing Be Repaired?
Yes, window engineers can replace broken double-glazed windows, worn out insulation, or change window panes when their seals fail. Please note that you don’t always need to replace the entire window, so beware of anyone who tells you that’s your only option.

At Harveys Windows we understand that value for money is very important. Our team can often replace individual double-glazed panes and save you the cost of replacing the whole window. If you do decide to invest in new windows, then Harveys Windows provides high-quality double-glazed windows starting at just, £750 including VAT and installation.
