Tips on energy saving

Room thermostats

Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce 
fuel consumption by up to 10%.

New control systems

Upgrade your heating control system with the latest equipment 
available. The minimum level of control for a heating system is 
a programmer, interlocking room thermostat and thermostatic 
radiator valves.

Radiators

More often than not radiators will be sited underneath a 
window, so the warm air from the radiator heats the colder 
incoming air from the window.

The performance of the radiator will be affected if the curtains 
are allowed to drape over the radiator or shelves are fitted 
above it.

The positioning of furniture and tables in front of the radiator 
should also be avoided.

It is advisable to manually adjust all radiator valves every 2-3 
months to prevent them from sticking. It is also important that 
the plastic tops of all valves are always in position and not 
cracked or damaged to help prevent accidents. Care should be 
taken when vacuum cleaning carpets to avoid damage to valves 
and pipework.

The heating system and the outputs of the radiators have been 
carefully selected by your installer. The temperature 
obtainable in any given room is dependent on all radiators 
being operated at the same time. If you decide to turn off 
radiators in unused rooms, spare bedrooms etc., you may 
experience slightly lower room temperatures in rooms adjacent 
to unheated rooms.

Heating economically

The boiler is designed to provide a high level of comfort while 
keeping oil consumption and the resulting environmental effect 
as low as possible.

The central heating control on the boiler should be set as low as 
possible while still maintaining a comfortable room 
temperature.

The temperature of each room can be set individually using the 
thermostatic radiator valves (except the primary room with the 
room thermostat).

Roof insulation

Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is through the 
roof. Replace any old insulation with new insulation, preferably 
to a minimum thickness of 200mm.

Window frames

Single glazed windows, particularly those with steel frames, 
can lose a great deal of heat.

Consideration should be given to replacement with uPVC or 
wooden framed double glazed units.

Curtains

Lined curtains, or heavier full length curtains can provide 
excellent insulation. However, always ensure that the curtains 
do not drape over radiators.

Draughts

Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows, 
letterboxes and keyholes etc., are reduced by using a suitable 
draught excluder.
