This is particularly true of high-quality argon gas-filled units that help retain heat and keep homes warmer for longer. This could save homeowners money over time. Old windows allow a lot of heat to escape out of homes and, if not properly insulated, they can result in greater than necessary energy costs. Double glazed windows are a great way to upgrade older properties. They look beautiful and will help lower the cost of energy. Windows and doors that are energy efficient are evaluated based on their u-value, which indicates how easily heat can pass through the frame and glass. The lower the u-value, the more efficient the window. Installing windows that are energy-efficient can save homeowners money on utility bills. Retrofitting double glazing into windows made of sash is a challenge, especially in conservation zones. This can alter the look of the building, or cause problems such as drafts.

One dirty trick employed by morally unqualified double glazing salespeople is to offer a discount linked to the Government scrappage scheme.

This acts as a buffer between cold air outside and the warm air inside. This is due to the fact that glass is a poor conductor of heat, which is why the air keeps the interior of the house warmer than it would be without double glazing. This is the reason building regulations were enacted in 2002, which required replacement windows to be at least double glazed C rated in the event that the building is listed or located in an area of conservation. Lack of insulation is one of the major causes of condensation and damp in older homes that can decrease the value and appeal of a house.
