Whilst we still have more time at home, if you have a loft, use this time to give your loft a clear out. If you de-clutter your loft, it will help ensure your your loft insulation is working at its best! Meaning any heat your central heating generates isn't wasted!
Top tip: clean down the back of your radiators wherever possible as dust on the columns prevents the heat from flowing freely and making your radiators work harder than they need to! #energysavingtips
You don't need to turn your boiler off this summer to save on your heating bills. Turn the hot water temperature down, as you don't need the water to be as hot when it's warmer outside! #boilertips#energysavingtips
Did you know that if you decide to turn your boiler off and use an electric water heater to heat your water, even during the Summer months, you could still experience an increase of £20 on your energy bills? Keep your boiler on and avoid a price hike! #energysavingtips
Even during the warmer months, it is advised to keep your boiler turned on. Turning your boiler and central heating off for prolonged periods of time can cause problems when you wish to turn it back on. Pipes can get clogged and parts can seize up. #summerheatingtips
Have you started to open your windows to let the fresh air in? Make sure you've closed them once the sun sets and your heating kicks in, otherwise you're wasting energy!
Remember there is a thermostat on your boiler too, this controls the temperature of your hot water - turning that down by 1 degree can also help you save on your energy bills! #moneysavingtip#energysavingtips
Another helpful energy saving tip is to make sure you dust & vacuum around your radiators - any dust on the columns will prevent the heat from flowing freely. removing this layer of dust will help to heat up the room quicker and more effectively.
To save on your heating bills, if you feel a bit of a chill in the evening, why not snuggle up under a blanket, or put a bigger jumper on instead of turning up the thermostat!
As the temperature starts to rise outside, now is a good time to review your heating settings. Do you need the thermostat set as high as before? Maybe turn it down slightly, and remember to open some windows to let the fresh air circulate!
Have you checked your individual radiator thermostats? If you have spare bedrooms, maybe turn those thermostats down if they're not in use to avoid wasting energy!
Top tip: As the temperatures start to rise outdoors, if you have any outside space, why not try hanging your clothes to dry outdoors. Putting clothes on the radiator to try can increase condensation in the home and lead to damp so be careful!
As we have a bit more time at home at the moment, why not do some of those odd jobs you may not usually have time to do. When was the last time you bled your radiators for example? Why not do it today!
Now you're at home most of the day due to the current national situation, have you taken a look at your heating settings? Maybe they need changing to adopt to your new routine? For example, are you getting up a little later so can have the heating come on a bit later?
The weather is meant to improve for many of us in the coming days - now's the chance to hang your washing outside to try if you can! A great way to save on your energy bills!
Many of you may be worrying about your energy bills rising as we're spending more time at home. Making small changes such as spending a few seconds less in the shower or turning the thermostat down by 1 degree can help you save money in the long run!
