Everyone is holding their breath waiting for their energy prices to go up. It’s not always the most pleasant news to hear when money is tight enough, but there are ways that you can improve boiler efficiency to make life easier and less expensive for you and your family. Here are some of the ways that you can make your boiler more efficient:
- Check your boiler is the right size. Believe it or not, your boiler may be inefficient because of its size. A boiler that’s too big will cause a case of over cycling, which means it will go on and off trying to burn more and heat the house, which leads to stress that your boiler really doesn’t need to be under. You’ll need a qualified boiler engineer to come and service your boiler to check it’s right!
- Check the balance. Is your boiler system balanced enough? When your new boiler is installed, it has to be balanced so that the radiators give off the right amount of heat. Your engineer can ensure the efficiency here to ensure that the heating system is properly balanced and efficient.
- Are there smart controls? Did you know that there was a Boiler Plus regulation brought into effect in 2016? This is where all combi boilers have to have advanced heating controls. The most efficient around are those known as compensation controls, and you can ensure that your boiler is running well when these are in effect.
Get your new boiler installed today and have an efficient option before the energy price rises begin.
