TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
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.
Radiators:
More often than not radiators will be sited
underneath a window, so the warm air from the
radiator heats the colder incoming air from the
window.
The performance of the radiator will be affected
if the curtains are allowed to drape over the
radiator or shelves are fitted above it.
The positioning of furniture and tables in front of
the radiator should also be avoided.
It is advisable to manually adjust all radiator
valves every 2-3 months to prevent them from
sticking. It is also important that the plastic tops
of all valves are always in position and not
cracked or damaged to help prevent accidents.
Care should be taken when vacuum cleaning
carpets to avoid damage to valves and pipework.
The heating system and the outputs of the
radiators have been carefully selected by your
installer. The temperature obtainable in any given
room is dependent on all radiators being
operated at the same time. If you decide to turn
off radiators in unused rooms, spare bedrooms
etc., you may experience slightly lower room
temperatures in rooms adjacent to unheated
rooms.
