Looking to save money on your heating bill? Try these tips:
Seal Your Home from Draughts
The Energy Savings Trust says that you could save about £35 a year, and it’s not hard to do. No matter how they get in – through the door, windows, or floors. Make your house a soft, cosy wonderland. Things that keep the heat in, like thick curtains, rugs, and draught stoppers, are great. Find out how to make a draught stopper at home with things you already have.
Bleed Your Radiators
Radiators often get clogged with air, which makes it harder for the hot water in your heating system to flow and keeps you from getting as warm as it could. When you know how, removing air from your heating system or “bleeding” your radiators is easy. It’s time to get to know your radiators better. Wickes has a simple video on how to bleed a radiator that you can watch online. Even better, it can make your radiators quieter.
Learn Your Dials
Check that your heating turns on and off at the right times for you and that it is at the right temperature. This may seem like a no-brainer, but it’s easy to forget in our busy lives. Taking care of these things will not only keep you warm at home, but it can also save you money. Which? have a great guide on how to use boilers and thermostats, check it out and get to know your dials.
Arrange For a Boiler Service or Installation
It’s important for you to arrange a boiler service every 12 months. It will help to make sure your boiler is running properly and help to identify any potential issues. After some time, you may find that your boiler becomes outdated. If this is the case you might need to arrange a new boiler installation. Get in touch with Horsforth Heating Solutions today.
