• Green Deal Loan: This government-delivered scheme supports energy-saving home improvements, including double glazing, in England, Scotland, and Wales. The loan must be repaid, but the repayment structure is designed to be less than the savings you achieve through improved energy efficiency.
• Barclays Greener Home Reward: If you have a residential mortgage with Barclays and meet specific criteria, you can receive at least £500 towards the cost of various energy-efficient home improvements, including double glazing windows. This scheme is open for registrations until 31 January 2024.
• Green Home Funding Schemes: Energy supplier E.on offers a Green Homes Grant Finder, which helps homeowners in England find loans and grants for double glazing windows, solar panels, loft insulation, and boiler replacements.

The lifespan of windows varies, but on average, they may last 20-30 years. However, factors such as material, maintenance, and weather conditions can influence the need for replacement.

While some may opt for DIY installation, it’s recommended to hire a professional installer to ensure proper fitting, compliance with regulations, and optimal energy efficiency.

Opt for double or triple glazing, consider low-emissivity (Low-E) coatings, and choose energy-efficient frame materials such as uPVC or timber. Proper installation and regular maintenance also contribute to energy efficiency.

Double glazing can save you up to £235 per year by reducing your heating bills and improving energy efficiency. By applying for a double glazing grant, your savings on energy bills can increase further. 

Double glazing not only retains heat but also minimises condensation, enhances the appearance of your home, adds value to your property, and reduces your carbon footprint by approximately 405kg, contributing to environmental sustainability.
