Simon Wardle, an expert in home heating at Armstrong Supplies, has recommended that households get their boilers serviced in the near future in order to cut costs.
While it’s not a legal requirement for private households, it is highly recommended to have a boiler serviced at least once a year. This is vital to ensure that it’s working safely, but it also provides an opportunity to catch some issues early that could lead to reliability or efficiency problems. Nevertheless, Wardle pointed out that there is a tendency for many to leave this until well into the colder seasons when:
“…boilers start breaking down and engineers are all booked up. Getting this done in September will make the service cheaper, prevent emergency callouts, and ensure your system runs efficiently from the first cold snap. With bills about to rise again, families need practical, low-cost hacks they can do right now.”
He added that this combined with other inexpensive changes can keep a home warm and comfortable while saving hundreds of pounds on heating costs. The Energy Saving Trust has also pointed to devices like thermostatic radiator valves and programmable room thermostat systems as good ways to enhance central heating.
