Save Money, Save Energy, Save The Planet

Discover Jason’s top Energy Saving Tips tips for maximising the efficiency of your
heating system.

Reducing your usage doesn’t mean spending thousands, most heating systems are not set up correctly and wont provide the maximum amount of efficiency or cost savings. Jason at J&S Plumbing and Heating can help you gain the most out of your central heating system by offering some simple, effective Energy Saving Tips.

Here at J&S Plumbing and Heating as standard we continuously strive to improve overall energy efficiency for all our customers.

All throughout this page you will see certain words underlined, if you hover over these terms you can see the definitions. These are Jason’s top terms to know when talking about your central heating system!

Understanding the importance of SEDBUK

SEDBUK tells you how efficient your appliances are to run. Appliances with an EPC rating of A will not only require less energy to run, but will also cost less in the long term. Investing in a new A rated boiler will be an investment for your future savings as well as for the sellability and appeal of your home.

A new A rated boiler uses the latent heat produced by the boiler to heat the heat exchanger which in turn provides extra heat to your radiators, therefore less fuel is burned and it costs less to heat your home.

Jason’s Top 10 Energy Saving Tips

1. TRV’s help to control the heat around your home and increase comfort.

2. Insulate, Insulate, Insulate! The biggest saving to your home is keeping the heat inside your home by insulating walls and roofs which can help reduce bills and increase comfort levels.

3. Time and temperature control of your heating and hot water using a programmer and thermostats can make a significant difference to your bills. Turning it on when cold and off when hot is not the most efficient way to heat your home.

4. Old inefficient boilers are not only bad for the environment but will also cost around 30% more to run. If you have an old inefficient boiler, then consider replacing it for a new A rated boiler.

5. Replace old inefficient radiators. Old radiators are approximately 30% less efficient to run then newer
convection radiators.
Convection Radiators All radiators are designed to convect but convection radiators are designed to encourage convective heat transfer making them more efficient radiators to install.
      

6. Power flushing your system can increase efficiency, flow, and heat transfer.

7. Balance your system to provide an even heat across your home.

8. Smart meters can help you to understand your heating and hot water usage and help you reduce your costs by seeing real-time information.

9. Reduce your usage as much as possible by understanding your system and controls and only heating your home when necessary.

10. Get your boiler serviced every year to keep it running efficiently and keep your warranty valid.
