Heating controls 0 Answers

Is it worth including heating controls in energy efficiency upgrading? People have asked especially whether they should install thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs). There are also cylinder thermostats, programmers and room thermostats to think about. Obviously they would be included if you are upgrading your whole system, but what if you're not? And does anybody have experience of wireless thermostats which you can carry around with you and I believe program to control the temperature in different rooms?

Boiler Scrappage Scheme 0 Answers

54,758 vouchers have been snapped up under the Government’s Boiler Scrappage scheme leaving around 70,000 vouchers worth a total of £28 million still up for grabs.

The scheme was launched in January to upgrade up to 125,000 household heating systems in England to cut carbon, save money on fuel bills and sustain work for the heating industry.

All the major energy companies which sell and install boilers (British Gas, E.On, npower and Scottish & Southern) have now matched the offer, giving householders potentially £800 off the cost of a new efficient boiler. Some manufacturing companies are also offering deals.

Will this scheme work?
