Electrify Your Life - Focus on windows and draught-proofing

By improving your home's efficiency, you can reduce energy costs and create a more comfortable home for your family.

Join us for a two-part workshop focusing on thermal improvements to keep your home more comfortable and lower your bills. At this event, our expert presenter will discuss window improvements and draught-proofing. 

Attendees have the option to join us one or both parts depending on your interests.

Part 1 - Draught-proofing your home (1 hour)

Sealing gaps and cracks in your home (known as draught-proofing) helps it retain heat in winter and keep it out in summer, meaning you'll stay more comfortable all year long. 

Key topics:

• ways to identify troublesome draughts
• practical methods to seal draughts
• recommended materials and tips for ensuring a snug fit in every room.

Say goodbye to chilly draughts and high energy bills – and equip yourself with the knowledge to create a warmer, more inviting home.

Part 2 - Improve window thermal efficiency (1 hour)

Thermally efficient windows retain more heat in your home in winter and keep it out in summer.  Improving your windows can reduce heating and cooling costs and create a more comfortable living environment. 

This session will explore effective ways to boost the thermal efficiency of your windows, tailored to every budget. 

Key topics:

• how to minimise heat loss and gain through windows
• window upgrades to reduce heating and cooling costs and create a more comfortable living environment
• comparison of upgrade options including DIY glazing upgrades, secondary glazing, invisible pelmets and more.  

Don’t miss this opportunity to transform your home’s efficiency with practical strategies.

This two-part session is ideal for homeowners, landlords and anyone who is interested in creating a more comfortable, energy-efficient home. 

Registrations are essential.
