Check Your Boiler Having your boiler serviced yearly is essential in ensuring it works safely and efficiently. In doing so, you reduce the chances of it breaking and leaving you without hot water, or it using more energy than necessary.
If your boiler is more than 10 years old, it may be time to replace it with a more efficient model. Also, having a brand new boiler means you’re less likely to have any issues going into winter.
Update Your Thermostat Your thermostat controls your home’s temperature by working with your boiler. Over time, they can degrade like boilers. Upgrading your thermostat means you will receive greater accuracy in thermostat to boiler communication. This prevents energy wastage, saving you money.
In addition to this, using your thermostat with a timer means you can effectively control your heating.
Bleed Your Radiators To ensure your radiators are working to their potential, you should bleed them. This will make sure no air is trapped, which could affect their heating performance.
Insulate Your Pipes Insulating your hot water pipes is a handy way to save energy. In addition to reducing heat loss from your system, it will prevent pipes from getting too cold in the winter, which prevents bursting.
Pipe insulation is easy to install yourself. You can purchase foam tubes and slip them over the pipes.
