Keep Your Home Cosy This Winter with Collington & Co’s Energy-Efficient Solutions

Winter is fast approaching, and as the temperatures drop, energy efficiency becomes a hot topic. At Collington & Co, we are committed to helping you not only stay warm but also reduce your energy bills while making a positive impact on the environment. With our range of A, A+ and A++ rated products, you can keep your home cosy by keeping the heat where it belongs – inside your home.



 

The Power of A+ Rated Products

Our A, A+ and A++ rated windows and doors are designed to be highly energy efficient. But what does this rating mean? Simply put, it’s a measure of how well a product can prevent heat loss. With an A and above ratings, you know that your windows or doors are up to the job when it comes to keeping the cold out and the warmth in.

 

During the winter months, many homes lose heat through their windows and doors, leading to higher energy consumption as your heating system works overtime to compensate. Our A, A+ and A++ rated products are designed to prevent this loss, helping to lower your heating bills and reduce your carbon footprint at the same time. Installing windows rated A or above can reduce heat loss by up to 74% compared to older, less efficient models.

 

The Importance of Replacing Blown Sealed Units

Even the most energy-efficient window won’t perform if it’s damaged. A common issue we see is “blown” sealed units. These are double-glazed windows where the seal has failed, allowing moisture to enter between the panes. When this happens, the insulating properties of the window are compromised, leading to drafts, condensation and a spike in energy bills.

At Collington & Co, we offer professional replacements for blown sealed units, ensuring your windows maintain their energy efficiency and keep your home warm and dry. Don’t wait until the winter chill is inside your living room – if you notice any fogging or condensation between your window panes, it’s time to get in touch.



 

Fixing Broken Gaskets to Prevent Heat Loss

Another often-overlooked area of heat loss is around the edges of your windows and doors. Gaskets are the rubber seals that sit between the frame and the glass, providing an airtight barrier. Over time, these gaskets can wear out, crack, or become loose, leading to drafts and consequently, heat loss.

Replacing broken gaskets is a simple yet effective way to improve the energy efficiency of your home. At Collington & Co, we offer gasket replacement services to ensure that your windows and doors are properly sealed, helping to prevent drafts and maintain a cosy indoor temperature.

 

Why Energy Efficiency Matters

Investing in energy-efficient solutions is about more than just staying warm. It’s about reducing your environmental impact and saving money in the long run. By upgrading to A or above rated windows and doors, replacing blown sealed units, and fixing broken gaskets, you can:

●      Lower your heating bills by reducing the amount of energy needed to keep your home warm.

●      Cut down on your home’s carbon emissions, contributing to a greener planet.

●      Increase the value of your home by making it more energy-efficient.
