What do the government advise?
With rising gas prices, the government is now aiding low-income individuals with their energy bills by providing a variety of discounts. Visit the gov.co.uk website to see if you qualify for this.
Don't let draughts fill your home
Cold and warm air can enter and escape your home through gaps in doors, windows, and even flooring. Add draught excluders, adequate sealant, insulating strips, or even blankets to act as draught excluders to avoid this. To save up to £35 per year on your heating expenses, seal cracks in floors and skirting boards, line your letterbox, and block an underused chimney. If you don't have double glazing, plastic lining for your windows can help you conserve energy and keep more heat in.
Make sure your home is properly insulated
You might save a lot of money on your energy bills if your home is well-insulated. Did you know that the majority of your heating is lost if your roof is not properly insulated? Make sure the roof, cavity walls, and even solid walls are sufficiently insulated to avoid this. You may save even more money on your energy expenses by installing insulation beneath your flooring.
Lower your thermostat as soon as it gets warm in your home
Heating and hot water expenditures account for more than half of all energy bills. You might save up to £80 a year by lowering your heating by one degree as soon as you start to feel warm and cosy. You can do this remotely from your phone or tab;e. with smart thermostats installed by Elements Heating Installations.
Replace your old, inefficient boiler
The best, most beneficial way that you can save energy is to replace your old boiler with a new A-rated condensing boiler that includes a programmer, room thermostat, and thermostatic radiator controls. For example, upgrading from a G-rated boiler to an A-rated boiler might save you at least £300 per year, based on current fuel prices. Get more information about our boiler installations right now!
