TIPS ON ENERGY SAVING
DRAUGHTS
Try to ensure that draughts around doors, windows, letterboxes and keyholes etc. are reduced
by using a suitable draught excluder. Warning - Do not block or seal any air vents that are
installed to ensure the central heating boiler operates safely.
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 if necessary with the latest equipment available. The
minimum level of control is a programmer, 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 thermostatic valves every 2-3 months to prevent
them sticking. It is also important that the plastic tops of all valves are always in position and
not cracked or damaged to 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.
