Massive price hikes from major energy suppliers and the spotlight on energy efficiency will see consumers focus on home improvements .

That ’ s the view of Andy Royle , co-founder and Managing Director of Leads 2 Trade , the UK ’ s leading provider of double-qualified sales leads to installers operating in the home improvement sector .

“ Household gas and electricity bills have risen steeply after the annual energy price cap increased to £ 1,971 in April , but the rise in wholesale prices amid the war in Ukraine may mean the price cap ratchets up even more by the end of the year ,” said Andy .

“ It ’ s a scary thought and consumers will be fully aware of the need to cut their energy spending and reduce their household energy bills . It ’ s no surprise they are turning towards home improvements to help insulate their homes and keep the heat in – and that will only mean even more window , door and conservatory roof replacement leads from our comparison websites and online assets for our member network .”

With upgrading older windows with modern , A-rated energy efficient double , triple , or secondary glazing saving as much

as 25-30 % on heating bills , and replacing a glass or polycarbonate conservatory roof with a tiled roof increasing thermal efficiency and helping to reduce energy costs , they are easy ways for consumers to eliminate energy wastage – and according to Andy they are more knowledgeable than ever .

“ Consumers have become more aware of the role they have to play in supporting the planet when it comes to home improvements , with energy prices skyrocketing their focus is on energy efficiency even more . Installers need to be ready to take advantage of the sharp increase we are expecting in enquiries as a result .”

All home improvement sales leads are double qualified from Leads 2 Trade ’ s own websites , which specialise in connecting homeowners looking for home improvements , by its in-house call centre .

The Stockport-based company ’ s guaranteed appointment , ‘ no pitch no fee ,’ leads are semi-exclusive and offered to just one other installer , making them easier to win , and installers only pay for the lead if they sit and pitch it .

“ Leads for windows , doors and replacement conservatory roofs for set to rise as homeowners look to save money on skyrocketing energy bills ,” added Andy . “ And with our ‘ no pitch no fee ’ service , which saves time and provides a better conversion rate and cost per sale , installers will not want to miss out .”
