In a typical UK household, heating accounts for about 60 per cent of the money spent on fuel bills each year, but having an efficient can help reduce your bills.
When replacing your boiler, consider the fuel type available in your home, your hot water usage, how much space you have available and the different options of separate boiler and hot water cylinder or a combi boiler.
Corrosion deposits in an older central heating system can cause substantial reductions in the effectiveness of radiators, and the whole system. The build-up of scale in heating circuits and on boiler components can cause a reduction in efficiency too. Using an effective chemical inhibitor can decrease the corrosion rate and prevent the build-up of sludge and scale, thus preventing deterioration and helping to maintain efficiency.
Electricity is more expensive than gas or oil, and is a relatively carbon intensive heating fuel, but it is available in almost every home in the UK. There are a number of electric heating technologies that can be installed easily, and relatively cheaply, in a wide range of homes.
The most common is the electric storage heater, which can make use of cheaper off-peak electricity to help keep the running costs down.
External wall waterproofing products can reduce moisture levels within masonry by inhibiting absorption of water. This can also generate energy savings as wet walls will lose heat faster than dryer walls.
Correct heating controls keep your home comfortable without wasting fuel or heat. A full set of controls for gas, LPG or oil-fired heating systems should ideally include a boiler thermostat, a timer or programmer, a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs).
Look for energy efficient appliances when replacing products like washing machines, fridge freezers or ovens. Those with rated A+ or A++ on its energy labels will help you to save money on your energy bills. The size of the appliance also affects energy use and therefore running cost.
Heating system additives can be used to increase system efficiency.
Insulating your home can significantly reduce heat loss while lowering your heating bills. This can be achieved through insulation in your loft and roof, cavity or solid walls and floor.
Most people find warmth very important. Choosing radiators with a high output give out more heat to keep your home warm
A sustainable urban drainage system (SUDS) is an environmental solution to drainage management in and around properties and other developments.
Choosing energy efficient double or triple glazed windows and energy efficient doors helps save money on your heating bills, as well as keeping your home warmer and quieter.
The EST Register identifies and lists all certified emissions reduction systems, so buyers and enforcement authorities can choose a system or check that a system is compliant. Independent certification for Non-Road Mobile Machinery (NRMM) is the only one of its kind in the UK and certifies the emissions reduction systems that can be retrofitted to NRMM (or construction machinery) to allow them be used in areas which have emissions restrictions.
