TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING

Heating economically:
The boiler is designed to provide a high level of
comfort while keeping oil consumption and the
resulting environmental effect as low as possible.
The central heating control on the boiler should be
set as low as possible while still maintaining a
comfortable room temperature.
The temperature of each room can be set individually
(except the primary room with the room thermostat)
using the thermostatic radiator valves.
Roof insulation:
Around 30% of the heat loss from a property is
through the roof. Replace any old insulation with
new insulation, preferably to a minimum thickness
of 200mm.
Window frames:
Single glazed windows, particularly those with steel
frames, can lose a great deal of heat.
Consideration should be given to replacement with
PVCu or wooden framed double glazed units.
Curtains:
Lined curtains, or heavier full length curtains can
provide excellent insulation. However, always ensure
that the curtains do not drape over radiators.
Draughts:
Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows,
letterboxes and keyholes etc., are reduced by using
a suitable draught excluder.
Warning: do not block or seal any air vents that
are installed to ensure the central heating boiler
(or other appliance) operate safely.
