Installing double glazing is an easy way to make a home more energy-efficient, energy-assessors.com has claimed.

The information provider has published a list of ten ways to save energy at home ahead of the introduction of energy performance certificates, which come as part of home information packs.

By installing double glazed windows, the site claims that heat loss can be reduced by 50 per cent and heating bills reduced by £80 to £100.

Stephen Callaghan, director of energy-assessors.com, said: "The introduction of energy performance certificates in June will bring the matter of energy saving in the home to the fore. Saving energy and improving the rating of our homes will deliver a long-lasting benefit."

Scotland's Daily Record recently wrote that double glazing is "an investment well worth making" as it improves heating, sound insulation and can act as a deterrent to burglars.

To improve the value of your property in a practical way, investing in double glazed windows and doors is a great way to get results.
