With Ofgem’s recent confirmation that gas prices will increase by a whopping 54% from 1st April 2022, some 22 million customers will be facing huge energy bills this month. With the average bill jumping from £1,277 to £1,971 per year, the energy price cap rise is a worrying prospect for every household. You don’t need to be left in the cold to counter these rises however.
There are several heating solutions that will lessen the blow, save you money and secure how you heat your home for the short and long term. Read on to discover the best heating solutions for saving money and tackle rising energy costs head on.
Having a new boiler installed may cost you initially but it can save you lots of money in the long run. Old boilers are synonymously expensive to run, which makes upgrading to a new model an excellent money saver.
If replacing your old boiler proves a step too far, talk to our plumbers about upgrading your heating controls instead.
By installing a thermostat with a programmer, you can prevent the energy loss that keeps your gas bills high. Smart thermostats are great investments, with some weather responsive and many more able to be controlled remotely.
Something as simple as reducing the temperature on your thermostat by just one degree can cut how much you spend heating your home by 10% per year.
Programming your thermostat to complement your daily schedule will also save you energy and money. You don’t need to heat your home when you’re out and could lower the temperature at night while you’re warm and toasty in bed.
Uncovering your radiators, closing your curtains and draught-proofing your wider home are other ways to keep home heating as efficient and affordable as possible.
There are several low-carbon heating solutions designed to keep your home warm and cosy affordably. Ground source heat pump installation is just one energy saving heating option that could save you thousands, particularly if you currently heat your home using oil, LPG or electricity.
By extracting heat from the ground using a small amount of electricity, you can heat your property at very little cost.
