Government Auto Trade-in Program (Window Scrappage Scheme) Exploration and Pondering Potential Drawbacks Before Utilization
The Window Scrappage Scheme, a promotion run by double and triple-glazing providers, is not a government-backed initiative, despite common belief. Companies such as Anglian Home Improvements and KLIC Home Improvements are among those running their own versions of the scheme.
This scheme offers an average savings of £1,000† off new windows and doors professionally installed. KLIC Home Improvements, for instance, claims their Window & Door Recycling Scrappage Scheme could offer savings "up to £2500" when replacing old windows and doors. However, it is important to note that these savings can sometimes be misleading.
The scheme aims to replace old uPVC window frames with new eco-friendly windows. The frames will be recycled according to the claims made by the companies. While it is possible to recycle uPVC windows at local recycling centres without participating in the Window Scrappage Scheme, participating in the scheme could potentially save money, in the thousands, as companies claim.
However, homeowners should approach the scheme with caution. Double or triple glazing may save money on energy bills, but companies could be charging more than necessary. It is essential to compare prices from different providers and consider the overall cost, including installation fees, before making a decision.
Fitting your own glazing and recycling your window yourself is an option, but requires removing the window frame yourself. Homebuilding & Renovating has approached Anglian Home Improvements and KLIC Home Improvements for comment on the potential savings, costs, and the process of participating in their respective Window Scrappage Schemes.
In summary, the Window Scrappage Scheme is a company-led initiative aimed at replacing old uPVC window frames with new eco-friendly windows, while offering savings to homeowners. While the savings can be substantial, it is crucial to approach the scheme with caution, compare prices, and understand the costs involved before making a decision.
