We recently upgraded this 'Fortic' combination cylinder to a mains pressure system, this increased water pressure at all taps and reduced the electricity consumption heating the old inefficient cylinder. The customer complained of lack of pressure at the taps and struggled to have a good shower. Now they will enjoy 'high pressure showers' and have ample pressure at all outlets. If you feel you have pressure issues with your system then please call us to arrange a FREE no obligation survey and quotation to improve this. #Brighton #Hove #Plumbing #Heating #Gas

OK, the colder weather is setting it, now may be the time to consider how best to use your heating and controls effectively to reduce your energy bills. Using your boiler, thermostat, timer, programmer and radiators efficiently is a simple way to cut your energy use and achieve cheaper energy bills. Follow our five top tips to get the best from your heating system. 1. Update your boiler and heating controls. Old boilers can cost more to run than new ones – but given that buying a new boiler can cost between £1500 and £5,000, replacing it is not always cost effective. Give us a call fo free advice. If you decide that replacing your boiler would be too pricey but your heating controls are old, just replace those – newer heating controls are much more accurate. You could save £80 to £165 a year in a typical home by installing a room thermostat and thermostatic radiator valves, according to the Energy Saving Trust. Types of heating controls. The type of heating control you need depends on the type of heating system you have, but these are the five general types: Timer – turns your boiler on or off at set times. Room thermostat – measures how warm your room is and adjusts the boiler operation accordingly. Programmer – lets you set different times and temperatures for different days of the week. Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) – allow you to adjust the temperature of individual radiators and turn them off completely. Smart heating system – allows you to control your heating remotely via an app. Smart heating systems, such as Nest and Hive, are the latest innovation in heating controls. British Gas, which manufactures Hive, claims it could save you up to £150 a year. But given that it costs just under £200 to buy, we're unconvinced of that as yet. 2. Get the best from your room thermostat room thermostat in the living space. A room thermostat monitors the temperature in an open plan living space, sited away from the windows, radiators and television It may seem obvious, but turning down the heating in rooms, even by just 1°C, can save a typical home around £85 to £90 a year, according to the Energy Saving Trust. Thermostat temperature tips Set the room thermostat to 18°C and then turn it up by one degree each day until you find a temperature you're comfortable with. Note that the temperature shouldn't drop below 16°C for elderly people and those with impaired mobility. Room thermostats need a free flow of air to sense the temperature accurately – they must not be covered by curtains or blocked by furniture. Nearby electric fires, televisions or lamps could also stop them from working properly. Note that many room thermostats are for one room only, and will turn your boiler off when the room it's sited in reaches the set temperature. For this reason, it's best to install your thermostat in a room that you use all the time. 3. Zone your heating. Instead of just having one room thermostat, you can have separate heating circuits, each with their own room thermostat or programmer, allowing you to zone the temperatures in different areas of your house. Setting lower temperatures for parts of the house that you use infrequently, or only at certain times of the day, will save energy and money. There are other things you can do to save money – just visit our guide on how to cut energy costs. 4. Programme or time your heating. A timer allows you to schedule when your boiler turns on and off over a 24-hour period so you don't have to do it manually yourself. A programmer gives you even more options, allowing you to set different times and temperatures throughout the week. Boiler controls - setting the holiday programme A programmer with a range of override options makes it easy to alter your daily heating pattern if your plans change If you are buying a new programmer, look for one that lets you set different temperatures for each part of the day, and customise the pattern for each day of the week if you have a regular schedule. When you're setting up your heating schedule, don't forget to keep it switched off at times when you might be home and not need the heating on (eg overnight). Consider setting it to switch the heating off 20 minutes before you usually go out, as there will still be residual heat in your home. It's a good idea to choose a model that also lets you override your normal pattern, so you can easily switch off your heating if you decide to head out for the evening or plan a few days away from home. This allows you to change your heating pattern without completely reprogramming the whole week. 5. Set your thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) low. As with your room thermostat, you should set the TRV in each room at a low level and gradually turn it up until it leaves the room at a comfortable temperature when your heating is on. Turning a TRV to a higher setting will not make the room heat up any faster – that depends on the boiler size and setting, and the radiator size. Despite their name, radiators actually work primarily by convection – cold air enters at the bottom, is drawn through the radiator and hot air leaves through the top. You can reduce your heating costs by ensuring each radiator in your home is able to circulate heat properly – for example, moving furniture away, not using cabinets to disguise them, and making sure they're not covered by curtains. If you are unsure as to what may benefit you or, if you would like further advice, please call for a chat or free site visit.
