If you’ve been thinking that your home or business could benefit from a few energy-saving improvements, a new governmental scheme called Green Deal could be just the thing for you.

Since October 2012, local authorities have been offering financial assistance to those seeking environmentally friendly upgrades to their properties. This means that you won’t have to pay all costs up front when you take advantage of the scheme.

That’s good news for your wallet, as well as the planet!

Energy-saving improvements

Many home/office changes come under the umbrella of energy-saving improvements, including:

  • Insulation – e.g. loft or cavity wall insulation
  • Heating
  • Draught-proofing
  • Double glazing
  • Renewable energy technologies – e.g. solar panels or wind turbines

So when you choose to make any one of these alterations to your property, you’ll stand to benefit from lower energy bills, and the peace of mind that comes with knowing you’re doing your bit to help the environment.

How to take advantage of Green Deal

Taking advantage of the Green Deal scheme is relatively straightforward, and you can do so in four simple steps:

  • Have a property assessment to identify which improvements could be made, and how much you stand to save on your energy bills.
  • Select a Green Deal provider. With its range of quality glazing products, for example, Hamilton Windows is perfectly suited to assist on issues of double-glazing.
  • Sign a contract between you and the Green Deal provider.
  • Start paying off the total amount through your electricity bill. The good news is your repayments will be based on the typical amount of money you’re expected to save on your energy bills.

At Hamilton Windows, we pride ourselves on our high performance UPVC windows and doors. And, as a Green Deal provider, many of the windows and doors that Hamilton Windows provides fall under the “double glazing” section of the scheme.
