Energy savings allow us to not only save money, but also to use our energy in a reasonable manner for a sustainable future. The Niall Clarke Oils team gives you some simple actions.
Boilers are not 100% efficient – around 20% of the heat generated is lost through the chimney. Heat loss can increase to 30% or more if the boiler is poorly maintained.
Water or oil leaks prevent your system from working efficiently. Check for signs of leakage from your tank, pipe work, valves, flanges and boiler.
You will get better value for money on larger deliveries. Always order the optimum quantity for the capacity of your tank to get the best deal.
Apart from the discomfort and inconvenience, some oil will be wasted if your system needs to be bled in order to restart it. It will also cost more to heat your home to the required temperature again.
Reducing the heating temperature in your home even by only 1 degree could save you 10% on your heating bill! The recommended temperature for an average family home is 20 degrees.
Program or time your heating to only come on when you need it most and vary the temperature throughout the day.
Turn off radiators or close vents in unused rooms and keep doors closed.
This will keep heat loss through windows and doors to a minimum.
Placing furniture and other objects in front of radiators will reduce their output and lead to poor performance.
This will keep your water warmer for longer and help reduce heat loss through your attic.
