Top Tips

Heating Tips

• Older boilers waste energy. Consider replacing yours with a modern condensing boiler, which converts more than 88% of fuel into heat. This could save you hundreds of pounds on your average yearly heating bill.
• Install a timer on your central heating system. It is far more cost efficient to have your boiler set to come on and off when required rather than running it continuously.
• Ensure your central heating system is equipped with a room thermostat. Cutting room temperature by one degree can save 5% on your yearly heating bill.
• Install thermostatic radiator valves to all your radiators which will control individual room temperatures. Alternatively if a room is seldom used switch the heat off completely unless required.
• Install an audible, battery operated carbon monoxide alarm.

Insulation Tips

• Insulation is very important. “Enough energy to heat 3 million homes is lost through poorly insulated houses each year” - The Energy Savings Trust.
• Ensure your hot water cylinder has an insulation jacket fitted.
• Ensure your central heating system's pipes are properly lagged and insulated so energy is not wasted through unnecessary heat loss.
• Ensure your loft and cavity walls are all insulated to a high standard. This could save you hundreds of pounds per year.
