5 Top ways to make your home eco-friendlier this summer

Around 22 million UK consumers’ energy bills has hit record levels starting from April 1, and those on default fixed rates who pay by direct debit will face an increase of £693 further down the inel.
Therefore, it makes sense that customers are striving to minimise their payments.

Making homes more cost-effective this summer is one method to achieve this. Experts at the home repair firm Stormclad advise that with a few small adjustments, homeowners and billpayers may swiftly move toward a more affordable and environmentally friendly living.

Windows

The majority of homes in England have double glazed windows, and with good reason: if homeowners haven’t upgraded their windows yet, now is absolutely the time. Double glazing windows can reduce monthly bills by up to £110.

While saving energy may be the top goal,  homeowners should also think about the design aesthetic they would like for their windows. Since some designs will suit some homes more than others, it is important to consider this for the sake of property value.
Aluminum would be the best material choice for more contemporary buildings because it is frequently used in commercial construction. 
On a more traditional home, however, this might not fit; timber fittings, on the other hand, might seem more in keeping with the style or era of the home.

Doors

Changing your doors is another cost-effective approach to update your house. 
They’ll not only help you further lower your energy costs, but they’ll also give your house a new aesthetic and make it more marketable.
Your home’s temperature will remain consistent throughout the year with the help of thermally efficient, high-quality doors that have been specifically created to help you save on electricity. 
Different materials should be taken into consideration because they each have special qualities. 
Consider this:
  • uPVC doors – cost-effective, low-maintenance, durable and weather-resistant
  • Aluminium doors – unique slimline frames, low-maintenance, thermally broken efficient frames and strongest construction material
  • Composite – low-maintenance, versatile modern and traditional styles, weather-resistant and energy-efficient
  • Timber – heritage designs and styles, naturally insulating, sustainably sourced, durable and long-lasting

Conservatories

You could always choose to do something a little bigger and invest in a conservatory if this summer you don’t intend to travel very far and would prefer to instead enjoy the sun and relax from within your own house.
According to Roofing Megastore’s Garden Trends Report 2022, a conservatory could increase the value of your home by £8,500. Most importantly, for those conservatories that use SmartGlass technology, resulting in quality insulation, optimal room temperatures can be maintained all year round, keeping bills to a minimum and increasing the over all value of your home. In the short term, this may seem like a significant investment, especially if you’re looking to save some money on energy bills.
Staying at home has been commonplace over the past few years, particularly as a result of Covid, thus the addition of more space to a home may be a good development for many. 
Conservatories can provide a comfortable space to unwind when the British summer disappoints.

Replacing Roofline

Another feature that can be maintained to improve your home’s aesthetic and thermal efficiency is rooftop replacement. By keeping your home’s roofline neat and orderly and replacing any existing rotting material, you will prevent as much heat from escaping your building.

Renovations like those on this list are best done in the summer because they get your house ready for the upcoming winter. 
These suggestions will not only improve the appearance of your home but will also increase its profitability, minimising future financial losses and increasing prospective gains.
