Get your home ready for winter - A&M Energy

As the clocks turn back this weekend and the nights draw in, thoughts will undoubtedly turn to winter festivities. With Bonfire Night, cosy nights in and Christmas celebrations to look forward to, the last thing you need dampening your winter cheer is draughty windows, clogged guttering, or even worse – an expensive emergency call-out to deal with unforeseen repairs that need immediate attention.

New research from E.ON shows that three in five Brits don’t prepare their homes for winter, despite the majority (77%) having previously suffered from some kind of seasonal problem in their home. The lack of preparation can leave people on the back foot, with nearly a quarter (22%) admitting to having used an emergency call out for installing loft insulation, clearing guttering and re-pressurising the boiler – spending on average £114 each time.

The biggest challenges faced by homeowners at this time of year include draughty windows and doors, radiators failing to heat up and boilers losing pressure. Issues such as these can feel like a really big deal at the time, but actually, the majority can be solved quickly and efficiently (and importantly, a lot more cost effectively) once you know how.

Plus, it’s not just about saving money on the work itself – implementing energy efficient measures such as loft insulation and blocking leaks from draughty windows and doors will help you use less energy in the longer term too.
When getting your home ready for winter the 5 P’s ‘prior planning prevents poor performance’ really ring true. So as the colder weather starts to set in, follow these DIY tips and your home will be ready for winter in no time.

Just a quick note of thanks for the work you recently completed at our house. We had been badly messed about by another firm promising (and failing) to do this work – and as a result decided to try A&M. The service has been great, right from booking/conducting the survey – through to the two installers who completed the work. Everyone turned up on the dates/times they were supposed to and the standard of work was very good. Much appreciated. Ian Wilkinson, Halifax
May I commend your men for an excellent job done very well, they were efficient, polite and cleaned up after even washing walls down of dust produced by drilling. A good job well done! Mr Lockwood, Ewhurst
Just wanted to pass on our thanks for the excellent customer service we received from your engineer last Tuesday. He arrived on time and explained everything in detail. He made sure he worked safely and cleaned up everything before he left. Hopefully you can pass on our thanks for a job well done. Believe me this is not always the case with trades people. Mr Lloyd, Shrewsbury
Just a note to say how impressed we were with the 2 men who came to insulate our house walls last Thursday. They were very helpful with a wall vent problem,were hard at work all day and did an excellent job, even as far as washing the windows after the job was completed. Please pass on our thanks to them for a job well done. Charles and Alison
I’d like to report back on the excellent job undertaken by your installer yesterday with our cavity wall insulation. He was on site exactly at the agreed time, very knowledgeable and kept a friendly and polite attitude all day. There was an evident respect of my property and he cleaned up behind himself leaving little evidence that he had even been there. A job very well done. Mr Adams, Swindon
We would like it noting how thoroughly polite, efficient and professional A&M Energy Solutions have been, right from their initial visit to survey our property. They’re a credit to you. Mrs Hadden, Sileby
I was very pleased with the way that the work was carried out on my property, particularly the manor and attitude of the three operatives on site. The original contact lady and surveyor were also helpful and friendly. Mr White, Salisbury
Your men turned up nice and early. They explained everything, gave the H&S notice and door signs. They were pleasant, and very quick and efficient in doing the job, and the house was left clean. I didn’t expect them to paint over where the holes were, so that was a bonus! At the end of the job, the paperwork was explained thoroughly before each piece was signed. I would recommend A&M to anyone. P Brewerton, Littlehampton
