Top tips for saving money on your heating:

 

Put a jumper on!

It might seem obvious advice but if you feel cold then put some warm clothes on. We are not saying that you should walk around in a ski outfit in your own home. But simply by wearing socks or maybe even a hat can enable you to retain your body heat and keep you warm. You can lose between 7 and 10 percent of your body heat through your head. So we would definitely recommend getting yourself a hat!

 

Blankets

During the winter months when it’s miserable and cold outside, what better opportunity do you have to stay indoors and keeping the heat in. Grab a blanket, duvet for the sofa, make sure you have curtains up and rugs on the floor. This will all help to save on your heating bills and will help to keep the heat in your home for longer.

 

Trap heat where you can

Make the most of the heat that you are already generating, think about how hot it gets if you have been busy cooking up a storm in the kitchen. So a more efficient way would be to allow the heat generated from this scenario to travel throughout the house.

Adjust your thermostat

By adjusting the temperature a few degrees, it can make a big difference to your bill. Do you have the heating set high for when you leave the house or before you go to bed? By lowering the temperature you can save money and it won’t affect your overall comfort.

 

Boiler servicing

By taking advantage of our boiler servicing you can make sure that your boiler is running as efficient as possible, which in turn will save you money.

 

Bleed your radiators

If your radiators aren’t producing heat to their full potential then they may need some attention. By simply bleeding your radiators you can bring them back to normal. Sometimes gunk might build up in your central heating system and this will cause problems with your radiators. We recommend a power flush service, to remove all gunk from your water heating system and give your boiler a new lease on life.

 

Keep your doors shut

By keeping your door shut, it can help to keep the heat trapped in a room. Once the door is shut your body temperature will help to keep the room warm, as well as other contributing factors like having the lights on or a tv on.

Stop the draft

As well as keeping the doors shut to keep the heat in, there are other practices that you can do. You can use a draft excluder on the bottom of your door. You can use draft strips to cover gaps on your door frames and windows. Also you can use draft proofing foam strips to prevent warm air escaping through your loft hatch.

 

Programmable thermostat

Having your thermostat set to the correct setting and having the heating come on at correct times can help keep the bills down. By having your heating set to certain programs can save 10-20% on your yearly heating bill.
