With energy prices higher than ever and no end to the energy crisis in sight, many of us are looking for new ways to make our homes more energy efficient. JA Seals are experts at helping customers make their homes less reliant on central heating systems, here are some of our top ways to make your home more energy efficient with our products.
One of the main areas of your home warm air may be escaping and cool air coming in is your windows and doors. Often, central heating systems have to work extra hard to account for heat escaping through faulty or older windows and doors. Even if your windows and doors are not particularly old, it may be worth checking them for signs of wear and tear before the winter weather kicks in to ensure they are up to scratch. One good way to check if draughts are entering your home through your windows and doors is to simply hold a hand in front of the gaps around your window or door. If you can feel air coming through the gaps, you may need to invest in some replacement seals.
If your windows have seen better days but you don’t want to spend a fortune on replacing all of your windows for newer, energy-efficient ones, replacing your window seals could be a good way to help make your home more energy efficient. Energy-efficient windows could mean the difference between a draughty home with your heating working overtime to compensate and a cosy, energy efficient home. Energy efficient windows will help keep the warm air inside of your home during the winter and the cold air out as well as helping to regulate the temperature of your home during the summer months to save you money on your energy bills year-round.
One of the top low-cost energy saving home improvements you can make is to weatherproof your windows using our high-quality window gaskets. These are simple to install and form a watertight seal that stops air from escaping, water from entering and even filters out external noise. Making your windows more energy efficient is just one step in making your home more energy efficient.
Another big point of warm air escaping from your home is through doorways. Not having energy efficient doors could be costing you hundreds per year and making your central heating work twice as hard. If you can’t afford to have a new energy efficient door fitted, giving your doors a bit of TLC before winter comes could still help to save you money and make your home more energy efficient. The right door seal can help keep the cold weather out, sealing your home against rainwater and draughts and helping your home become more efficient. Door gaskets can help further seal your doorway against the weather and keep heat in your home whilst enhancing the protection of your letterbox can further enhance your door’s energy efficiency. This can be done by adding brush strips to your letterbox to help stop draughts without preventing the usual use of your letterbox.
