Green Issues.
- Save on your heating bills
- Make sure your heating system is serviced annually so that it works to the best of its ability. Problems such as corrosion will make your heating system less energy efficient and cost you money.
- Changing from an old standard efficiency boiler to an 'A' rated condensing boiler can save up to 30% on your fuel bills.
- Upgrading your heating controls will give you better control of your heating system and can reduce your heating costs by up to 17%.
- Turning down your room thermostat can mean big savings without leaving you cold - decreasing the temperature by only one degree can save you up to 10% on your heating bill.
- Check the energy ratings of components in your system. For example many pump manufacturers now use the EU Energy Labeling scheme on their products, so if you need to replace the pump, using an energy efficient model can save you money on your bills.
- By insulating your loft and cavity wall space you can make your home more energy efficient and save up to 60% on your heating bills.
- Upgrading your hot water cylinder to a pre-insulated model with a high recovery coil (heat exchanger) will make your hot water system more efficient. Alternatively fitting a new lagging jacket to your hot water cylinder will make it more efficient.
- Insulating your pipes will make them more efficient and protect against freezing.
- Do not cover radiators with curtains. This is uneconomical as modern radiators provide heat by convection as well as radiation, so by covering the radiator you will be impeding its performance.
- Although draughts can be a nuisance, do not cover ventilation in rooms with boilers or gas fires, as these appliances require this ventilation for safe operation.
