Tips On Energy Saving - Bosch WORCESTER GREENSTAR DANESMOOR WALL MOUNTED OIL 18/25 User Instructions & Customer Care Manual

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 temperature 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 using the thermostatic radiator
valves (except the primary room with the room thermostat).
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.
Room thermostats:
Reducing the setting of the room thermostat by 1°C can reduce fuel consumption
by up to 10%.
New control systems:
Upgrade your heating control system with the latest equipment available. The
minimum level of control for a heating system is a programmer/timer, interlocking
room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves.
