Save Money and Emissions with a Greener Central Heating System

As more and more people become determined to lead a greener lifestyle as the threat of global warming increases, one of the first places that you can make changes is within your own home.

One area in particular where your carbon footprint can be reduced is the central heating system. Changing an old boiler for a more energy-efficient solution is being billed as one of the best ways for people to reduce their carbon footprints. By choosing to replace your old boiler with a new condensing boiler you can really help to save on carbon dioxide emissions, as well as helping to save up to 40% on your energy bills.

But it’s not just the central heating systems where savings in energy and bills can be made. Radiators are another key area where many people use more energy than they need to. Residents of London in areas like Ealing and Hammersmith can take advantage of new radiators with TRVs (Thermostatic Radiator Valves). These are designed to prevent overheating and can therefore help you to cut back on all the heating that you are currently wasting.

Other ways to save energy include using room thermostats and water thermostats, and households should also seriously consider investing in insulation for their homes including cavity wall insulation.

The Energy Saving Trust says that the government is committed to greater energy efficiency, and as a result large energy suppliers have been set efficiency targets that they must achieve. The great news for customers is that there are lots of offers currently available for energy saving installations, making it easier than ever to save energy and enjoy lower bills.
