Heating your home during the colder months uses a large amount of the energy you use throughout the year. Ensuring your heating system is running efficiently and that you are not wasting any energy can therefore help you to make big savings on your fuel bills.
Easy ways to save energy
- Don’t overheat your home – turning your thermostat down by just 1°C can cut your fuel bill by 10% (source: Energy Saving Trust). The recommended temperature for living rooms is 21°C, 18°C for bedrooms and 16°C in halls.
- Don’t overheat your hot water either – 60°C is the optimum setting for your cylinder thermostat.
- It may sound obvious, but if you are too warm, turn the heating down to reduce the temperature rather than opening windows.
- Have radiators fitted with thermostatic controls to regulate heat in each room.
- Have your boiler regularly serviced – this will increase its energy efficiency. These are the Massapequa Plumbing and Heating services.
