A boiler is one of the most important pieces of equipment in our homes. It provides us with hot water and keeps us warm. However, it also accounts for a large proportion of our energy bill.
Here are the top three facts we think all homeowners should know about their boilers.
Consumption
More than half of the total energy consumed by the average UK household is to run the boiler. This equates to around £700 a year for the average family. The efficiency of your boiler can have a big impact on your energy usage and your energy bill. Installing a new modern condensing boiler is the most effective way to reduce your energy usage and therefore your energy bill.
Temperature control
The temperature of your home can have a big impact on your energy bill. Just a small change like turning the thermostat down by just 1°C can cut as much as 10% off your bill. Install room thermostats to manage the temperature in your home better and replace your standard radiator valves with thermostatic valves to improve energy efficiency. Better still invest in upgrading your heating controls to an advanced programmer for greater flexibility.
A new boiler
Your boiler is one of the most important purchases you can make for your home. You can save hundreds of pounds a year with the newer and more energy efficient boilers. Fitting a new boiler may sound costly but switching to a modern condensing boiler saves the average household around £300 a year.
