The colder months are right around the corner; keeping your home warm and cosy becomes a priority. However, sometimes higher energy bills and unexpected heating issues can take the shine off winter comfort.
The good news? With Amber Heating’s preparation tips, you can stay warm, cut costs and keep your heating system running smoothly through the chilly months.
1. Service your heating system.
Before the temperature drops, it’s a good idea to book a professional service for your boiler or heat pump. This will ensure that your heating system will run efficiently, reducing the risk of any issues or breakdowns and extend its overall lifespan.
2. Check your radiators.
Make sure that your radiators are heating up evenly. If some areas of your radiators feel cold at the top, they may require some maintenance, such as bleeding. Uneven heating makes rooms harder to warm up, wasting energy and increasing your bills.
3. Upgrade your thermostat.
Upgrading to a smart thermostat allows you to control your heating remotely and adjust settings to match your lifestyle. This means less wasted energy and more consistent comfort.
4. Insulate your home.
A well-insulated home retains its heat far more effectively. Check around your home for any areas you may be able to improve. Some great methods are having insulation in your loft, draught-proof doors & windows and using heavy curtains to keep the warmth in your home.
5. Don’t forget your heat pump.
If you already have a heat pump installed, clear away any leaves, snow or debris away from the outdoor unit to ensure it is working efficiently. If you’re considering upgrading to a heat pump, they are a reliable and eco-friendly method of heating your home through winter.
When checking your home, remember: safety comes first. Install or check carbon monoxide alarms if you have a gas boiler. This quick and simple step keeps you and your family safe throughout the heating seasons.
By following this checklist, you’ll reduce the risk of winter breakdowns, lower your energy bills and keep your home cosy all season long.
