5 Gas Saving Tips

Posted in Saving Energy on October 18th, 2009 by admin

Winter is in sight and can be a worry when it comes to the heating bills. Here are 5 energy saving tips to help you save.

Get Insulated
Heat loss is a major cause of energy waste throughout the winter. Heat can often escape through poorly insulated roofs and according to British Gas you could save up to £150 per year by getting your roof or loft insulated.

Draft Proofing
Draught proofing the windows and doors of your house with a fix brush or PVC seal could save you around £30 a year.

Turn it down
It might sound obvious but you could save up to 10% on your heating bills by turning your theromostat down by just a few degrees. It is unlikely you’d notice the difference in temperature very much, especially if you wear warmer clothes as well.

Draw Your Curtains

Drawing your curtains at night, expecially during winter can also help retain heat in your home. Well fitted curtains can prevent and reduce heat loss through the glass, especially large windows.

Maintain your Heating System

An old heating system could end up wasting energy and your money. Ensure you have your heating system and boiler working correctly before the winter arrives by calling in a Gas Safety Registered engineer. You may even consider replacing a very old boiler with a more modern energy efficient one.

It is estimated that almost 50% of homes in London are paying too much for their heating costs. Running an old or inefficient boiler can mean you’re using far more energy than you should, but if you take some time to repair home heating you could potentially reduce your energy costs.

There are many central heating engineers in east London that are able to offer professional boiler services. Most of these will happily make recommendations about your best options for home heating needs and suggest ways you could increase the effectiveness of your heating at the same time as reducing your costs and energy consumption.

You may just find your current boiler is old, outdated and not running as efficiently as a newer option. Boiler installation in east London is often more reasonably priced than most people believe. If you knew your heating bills could be reduced for many years to come even while you’re generating much more efficient heat throughout your home, wouldn’t it be worth investigating?

In an effort to save money and give your budget a little relief, you may be tempted to try and install a new boiler yourself or with the help of a friend. While you might think this could save you a few pounds, is it worth risking your safety on such an important task when professional boiler installation in east London by legal gas workers could mean reducing any risk of accidents enormously.

Whether you choose to repair home heating or whether you contact central heating engineers or even boiler installation service in east London, you really could save up to 40% of your energy costs. Energy efficient boilers can make all the difference to your home this winter, so be sure to speak to a licensed gas worker to discuss the best possible options for your family’s safety
