Fuel Prices Soaring
Fuel prices have risen massively and will continue to rise.The typical annual gas bill has increased by about £400 since 2006. If your heating system is more than 10 years old it could be 40% inefficient.That means you are using 40% more fuel than necessary.This will be recorded in a HIP when you come to sell causing serious devaluation.A system upgrade can wipe out those fuel bill increases instantly,and restore your property's value.Your basic pipework circuit and radiators are probably fine, but new technologydeveloped in the last 10 years means that the rest of your system is seriously deficient.Improving insulation to reduce heat loss is an obvious step but that is only half theproblem. It is relatively simple to upgrade your system to the latest levels of efficiency(mandatory for all new housing) without major upheaval, and your gas or oil bill will cometumbling down: · Fit a modern condensing boiler for maximum combustion efficiency and utilisation of exhaust heat.· Get complete control with the latest electronic instrumentation, ensuring that the system is delivering just the right amount of heat to the right places at the right times.· Fit thermostatic radiator valves to keep individual room temperatures steady, and also you can set little-used rooms down a couple of degrees.· Flush out the accumulated sludge from the pipework so that there is free flow and all the radiators work efficiently. There is no better investment than a heating system upgrade in terms of payback period, future returns, and property value. It’s a no-brainer. If you want to invest longer term against the inevitable rise of fossil fuel prices then youshould think about Solar Heating. The DTI has shown that an approved installation inthe Midlands will save over 70% of the annual cost of domestic hot water heating. newarkplumber will be happy to assess your current system and advise you oncost-effective upgrades. newarkplumber Home
