CHOOSE ABELGLASS AS YOUR NEW YEARS RESOLUTION Make saving money your priority for 2011 by choosing Abelglass!

“Recession, recession, recession” - that’s all we hear nowadays, and as the economy continues to bite, more than half of us* are planning to fix our finances as our number one resolution for the new year.

For many thousands of us, new year’s resolutions are like the X-Factor; something you swear you won’t touch but every year end up temporarily obsessed with. '.and 2011 is no different!

However, with the continuing faltering economy as your perfect excuse, saving money by becoming more energy efficient is the one resolution you will be motivated to stick to.

If the recent cold snap isn’t enough to spur you on, maybe the new year will be. For example, replacing all single-glazed windows with energy efficient glazing could reduce your heat loss by up to 35% and save you around £135 per year on your energy bills, according to the Energy Saving Trust.

Even small adjustments to existing PVCu windows and doors such as repairs to hinges can make savings on your heating bills.
