Methods of saving money on heating

Most dwellings and virtually all new builds now have central heating systems. Did you recognise you can make changes to make the central heating more cost-effective and less expensive by changing your central heating controls. Most importantly the installation of a timer or heating programmer will mean that the central heating and hot water are switched on only at the times of the daytime you require them. Without this you could find that your system is turning off and on during the day when hot water is not needed.

Adding room thermostats will assist you to preserve the warmth level in the home without paying for gas to make it warmer than needed. Large cuts in gas use can be achieved by limiting energy usage to the level needed to hit the target room temperature. Thermostats can also be fitted to the radiators in each room to carry out the same warmth level maintenance.

The main source of energy inefficiency probably comes from an older boiler. After fifteen years your gas boiler has seen its better days. Substantially less gas is used by modern gas boilers as they are more efficient. If you fit a modern condensing boiler you could find economies of up to 40percent. Cold water is warmed up by warmth from the exhaust gases cutting the heating boiler energy requirements. If you are installing one of these type of boilers for the first time you could qualify for a government award.
