Your heating system is working tirelessly to keep your home warm during the colder months. It's also the time of year when your energy bills will most certainly increase. The team at Green Flame Plumbing and Heating have compiled a list of things you can do to save money on your energy costs to prepare for the colder months ahead...
Consider changing your gas company
Many homeowners based in Porth or any surrounding areas believe it is difficult to move from one gas supplier to another, or that they do not understand how to compare rates from different suppliers. However, the fact of the matter is that it's very simple to switch energy providers, and it will save you money in the long run.
Getting your boiler serviced annually is a great way of making sure that your boiler is running at its peak performance. Our heating engineers are Gas Safe qualified, which means they've completed comprehensive training to undertake a number of gas boiler servicing inspections.
Upgrade your windows to double or triple-glazed glass
Many homes with single-glazed windows lose a substantial amount of heat via the windows, thus they may need to be replaced. If you have single-glazed windows in your home, you should consider upgrading to double or triple-glazed windows. It will not only keep your house warm, but it will also save you money on your heating bills. Insulate your home.
Insulation is hugely important in the winter
Adding insulation to the tops of your pipes and additional storage tanks is a great way to reduce heat loss. The most significant advantage is that it will take less time to heat up the hot water and that it will stay warmer for longer, especially in the coldest months of the year.
