Energy Saving Tips

Add TRV’s to your radiators – TRV’s (Thermostatic radiator valves) enable you to control the temperature of each radiator individually, ensuring you only have each radiator as warm as you need it.

Bleed Radiators – From time to time, ‘Bleed’ your radiators to ensure maximum output – Don’t forget, turn your heating OFF first.

Turn your Thermostat Down – Turning your thermostat down just 1°C could save as much as £55.00 per year.

Take Control – Use your controls to put your heating and hot water on only when you need it, you could set it to come on just before you get home from work?

And vary your settings between summer and winter. If your central heating system does not have independent control of heating and hot water, these can easily be added to your system.

Hot Water - Your water needn't be heated to too high a temperature. Your hot water cylinder thermostat should be set at only 65°C or 140°F. Any higher is a waste of energy; any lower and there may be risks of legionella bacteria forming.

Old Boiler? – If your boiler is 15 years or older you could save 1/3 of your energy bills by replacing it with a high efficiency Condensing Boiler.
