TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
Radiators
More often than not radiators will be sited
underneath a window, so the warm air from the
radiator heats the colder incoming air from the
window. The performance of the radiator will be
affected if the curtains are allowed to drape
over the radiator or shelves are fitted above it.
The positioning of furniture and tables in front
of the radiator should also be avoided.
It is advisable to manually adjust all radiator
valves every 2-3 months to prevent them from
sticking. It is also important that the plastic tops
of all valves are always in position and not
cracked or damaged so as to prevent
accidents. Care should be taken when vacuum
cleaning carpets so as to avoid damage to
valves and pipework.
The heating system and the outputs of the
radiators have been carefully selected by your
installer. The temperature obtainable in any
given room is dependent on all radiators being
operated at the same time. If you decide to turn
off radiators in unused rooms, spare bedrooms
etc., you may experience slightly lower room
temperatures in rooms adjacent to unheated
rooms.
