Interest in double glazing increases as recession makes homeowners more energy conscious

Double glazed windows can cut bills and reduce energy loss.The recession is making homeowners more eco-friendly, as they follow energy-saving measures to cut fuel bills, according to a survey.Homeowners across the UK are using recession-fuelled energy saving tactics, such as installing double glazing, to cut their bills, according to a recent survey.

Heatkeeper, a leading supplier of energy saving radiator panels and eco-friendly products, recently commissioned an independent survey into the effects of the recession and energy usage in the home.

It found that a quarter of the 3,000 adults surveyed had changed energy suppliers in the last 12 months, after looking for a better deal.

The survey also discovered that 65 per cent have started turning off the lights when leaving a room and 40 per cent have or will turn down their heating thermostat to save energy and reduce bills.

Only five per cent had fitted radiator panels, despite their ability to reduce heating bills by up to 20 per cent, and just ten per cent had fitted double-glazing in the last year.
