Green Deal Glazing

There is something called the Green Deal which is a government backed initiative that can help people understand the energy-saving improvements they can make to their properties. It can also help them find companies to carry out the work, and give access to a number of options for paying for these improvements, this includes Green Deal finance. Fitting double glazed units is one of the many improvements with the real and proven benefit of double-glazing being a substantial saving on utility bills, for instance if you replace a single-glazed window in a three-bedroom home with a double-glazed unit. Lots energy monitoring magazines say that there could be a real saving of around £135 on a years heating bill. There could also be a reduction of carbon footprints too by around 720kg of carbon dioxide emissions. London Glaziers only use qualified technicians. Nationwide, more than 50% of all homeowners have registered interest in fitting new double glazed windows and doors, and the Energy Saving Trust says that the new Green Deal can only increase the demand. A recent survey by the EST of more than 2000 UK adults showed that 52% of homeowners are considering new double glazing and that 22% of homeowners have already fitted new double glazing in the last year. There is a North and South double glazing divide, with around 71% of people in the North East having double glazing fitted, whilst in London and the south east this drops to 49%. London Glazing fit all types of glass and glazing. The EST, who administers the Green Deal installer certification, predicts that the Green Deal, that lets people pay for genuine energy efficient home improvements through the savings they make on their energy bills will definately increase the interest and participation for double glazing and the Green Deal scheme. Mr Tom Locke from the EST stated that the Green Deal is a great opportunity for all home improvement installers across all the major sectors. Becoming certified is really the first step to working inpartnership with the Green Deal. The Energy Saving Trust is one organisation ensuring that only trusted and professional tradesmen can be part of this scheme. Mr Locke also said that dealing with a Green Deal certified installer will give massive consumer confidence.
