Energy and money
saving tips
Set your room thermostat between 18 and 21
degrees. Try turning it down by just one degree
– you may still be warm enough and you will save
energy and money.
Only heat the rooms you are using. Turn
thermostatic radiator valves right down in rooms
you don’t use.
If you have a hot water storage cylinder, turn the
temperature down to 60°C/140°F. To prevent the
growth of harmful bacteria it should not be lower
than this temperature.
Make sure the cylinder is well insulated. A well-
fitted tank jacket will keep your water hotter for
longer and save you money.
Covering radiators with clothes or putting
furniture in front means your boiler has to
work harder for your room to get to the set
temperature – costing you money and
wasting energy.
Thermal curtains, closed curtains at dusk,
will help to stop heat escaping through
the windows.
Fitting a magnetic filter will attract magnetic
debris before it enters your boiler, helping to avoid
expensive maintenance and repairs, and making
your heating system more energy ecient.
