Heating

• Older type boilers waste energy; consider replacing yours with a modern energy efficient A Rated condensing boiler, which converts more than 88% of fuel into heat. This could save you 30%, or around £150-£200 on your average annual heating bill.                             
• Install a timer / programmer on your heating system - it is far more cost efficient to have your boiler coming on an off when required rather than having it continuously running. Modern timers are flexible to suite your lifestyle                          
• Make sure your heating system is equipped with a room thermostat - cutting room temperature by one degree will save 5% annually on your heating bill. A varity are availible
• Have thermostatic radiator valves fitted to all your radiators to control individual room temperatures or switch heat off completely in certain parts of your house, when not in use. Make sure all your heating system's pipes are properly lagged and insulated so energy is not wasted through heat loss.
• Make sure your hot water cylinder has an insulation jacket. and pipe work is insulated especially were its not visable
• Make sure a timer is fitted to your imersion heater's hot water tank to avoid wasting money by keeping water hot all day.  
• Make sure your immersion heater has a thermal safety cut out fitted. 
• Regular servicing of your boiler is vital for safety, but significantly a well maintained heating system will be more efficient and cost less to run.
