How Can You Make Your Home Sustainable and Energy Efficient?

At Fitter Windows, we understand how important it is to make your home environmentally friendly. With the cost of living and inflation rising during winter, it has never been more important to save money. In fact, Saving on energy bills and reducing your home’s carbon footprint are some of the most common ways to create an eco-friendly home. 

But you might be wondering what home improvements you can choose to make your home greener and sustainable. Read on to learn more. 

Upgrade Your Windows to Double Glazed Windows 

Upgrading your home to double glazed windows is another useful way to improve your home’s energy efficiency levels.  Our double glazed windows are made from two thick panes of glass which are separated by inert gas. This creates a robust thermal barrier that helps retain natural heat in your home. These energy saving qualities ensure that not only will you save money on bills, but you could also reduce your carbon footprint as well.

At Fitter Windows, we offer a fantastic range of windows including casement windows, sliding sash windows, and tilt and turn windows. They are available with advanced double glazing as standard, which could help keep your home at a comfortable temperature. What’s more, by reducing your carbon footprint, this could help enhance your home’s sustainability. 

Install A Smart Meter In Your Home

Smart home technology has revolutionised the way we live, offering convenience, comfort, and energy efficiency. By integrating smart home devices into your home, you can control and monitor energy usage, and get an in depth insight into how much you are spending on your energy. Smart thermostats allow you to program and adjust your home’s temperature remotely. This ensures energy is not wasted when you are away. 

Draught Proof Your Windows And Doors 

A cost-effective and easy way to save energy is to draught proof your windows and doors. This could help prevent cold air from entering your home. A simple way of draught proofing your home is to weatherstrip your windows and doors or use sealant around the edges. Our uPVC windows and doors are fitted with Q Lon weather gaskets as standard, which could help prevent cold draughts from entering.

Upgrade to An Energy Efficient Conservatory Roof

If your existing conservatory roof is underperforming, then upgrading to one of Fitter Windows’ conservatory roofs could be a great way to improve sustainability. Our conservatory roofs offer exceptional thermal efficiency levels, ensuring you will get a comfortable temperature throughout the year.

Install Solar Panels In Your Home  

Installing solar panels is a great way to help your home become sustainable as it can help convert your existing energy into power. If you install a solar panel on your roof or in your garden, this could be an effective way of generating more of your own electricity. 

The bigger the solar panel is, the more electricity it can generate. Choosing a solar panel could be a great way of saving money and reducing your carbon footprint. 

Solar Storage Battery 

If you are interested in installing solar panels, you will also want to find a way of storing energy. This is where solar batteries come in. These devices help store the energy collected from solar panels so you can store it for later use, charging your battery when grid energy is at its most affordable.
