My house has secondary double glazing, but only sealed double glazing is considered in the assessments.<br />The assessment for my daughter's cottage recommended the installation of cavity wall insulation and sealed double glazing. The walls are solid and about 2ft thick, changes to the windows are impossible because it is a listed building.<br />I told her that she should have asked them to send along their "recommended supplier" to quote for filling the cavity walls!English Pensionerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15271488641341955140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3083855923964640893.post-24153778961676118182010-07-16T09:22:04.924+01:002010-07-16T09:22:04.924+01:00I'm sure that's true, Blue.

My irritation is mainly that they don't seem to realise that most energy consumption doesn't "emit" CO2 at the point of use and are therefore limiting their service to just my gas-powered systems without (apparently) realising. Add this to the fact that they can't even spell CO2 and my willingness to let them advise me goes out of the window. <br /><br />Julia - quite, I must suffer.
