Install A Condensing Boilers
What type of boilers do you currently have in your home? Gas condensing boilers are le choix le plus populaire for heating and hot water in UK homes. Indeed, they produce heating and hot water cleanly and efficiently using energy from natural gas.
How does it work? It capture the hot gases and recycled them back into the system through a heat exchanger into the primary circuit to then move them to radiators and your hot water system.
Gas condensing boilers are far more efficient than non-condensing boilers, with newer models able to reach over 90% efficiency. So they are more cost-effective and can save a homeowner hundreds of pounds in heating bills each year. So it’s a no brainer for many households.

Alternatively, you can also dress your windows. By simply adding blinds, curtains or shades in your rooms, it will regulate heat loss so you don’t spend so much on energy. In winter m it will help you keep the warmth while such adds on can really cool down a place in hotter months. It’s such une solution simple if you don’t want to go for double-glazing.
