How can you Save Money on your Heating Bill
- Insulation
- Heat rises. So your roof is one of the most important places in your house to insulate. A lot of the heat you generate in your house can be lost through the roof. So it is important to be sure to get good quality insulation and that it is properly installed. At Cossins Windows we can’t help you with the insulation for your roof. But, we can help you with the next two most important areas of your home where you can lose heat. Windows and Doors.
- Good Quality Windows
- At Cossins Windows we can’t stress this enough. You want to maintain your windows and be sure they are in good condition. Your sealed units should be intact with no broken or cracked pains of glass. If your windows require paint, be sure it is kept clean and apply new coats when required. If you have Wood Windows, be sure the wood is in good condition and protected with stain to prevent rot and dampness. Double glazed windows are a must if you want to keep the heat in and stop the cold and damp from coming through. If you can afford it, Triple glazed windows are even better. Even in today’s economy, replacement windows are still a good investment. If you can’t afford to replace all your windows at once, then do the job in stages. Cossins Windows wants our customers to be confident that they are buying a quality product that will last a very long time. Since we measure, build and install our own windows, we know what it takes for a window to last the elements time. We build quality wood, metal clad and vinyl windows and we sell other quality products designed to be around a long time. All replacement windows are not the same and only a manufacture of a window can tell you the difference. Does a Ford Escort have the same quality and performance as a mustang GT500? Not every window is the same either.
- External Doors
- You want to be sure the the external doors in your home keep the heat in as well. If your external doors have glass in them, they should be double glazed as well. They should also fit properly with seals that fit and perform correctly.
- External doors sold by Cossins Windows are made of multiple materials and can have R Values as high as 15. No, these doors are not doors that you might buy at your local hardware store. These doors are professional grade doors designed to save you money and last a lifetime. Visit our showroom to see and ask us about our doors.
