Save on central heating
Central heating is the most popular type of home heating in the UK. Greater energy economy can be accomplished with a few easy changes to the heating controls. You can moderate when the heating and the hot water are running by putting in a basic timer switch or more complex heating programmer. Your bills will be greatly cut as you will only be using gas when it is actually called for.
Room temperatures can be better controlled by adding room thermostats once more trimming energy usage. Once the right warmth level is achieved the heating is turned off trimming gas use. TRV valves can be supplied to each radiator to delicately control individual room temperatures. This will allow you to give heating to rooms that demand it rather than the whole household being heated to the same temperature.
One of the main causes of high fuel charges and a major source of gas inefficiency comes from aging heating boilers. Most central heating boilers have a life-time of fifteen years and tend to have more problems and become less efficient after this time. The latest boilers tend to have much better gas efficient ratings and use heat exchanger technologies to trim their energy consumption. economies of up to 40% can be achieved by fitting a condensing central heating boiler. The heat exchanger contained in these gas boilers extracts heat from the exhaust gases and uses it to warm cold water. There is further good news in that grants are frequently available for dwellings which want to set up one of these boilers for the first time.
