As spring transitions into summer in Surrey, homeowners often focus on enjoying warmer weather and sunshine. However, this period also presents an excellent opportunity to reduce energy consumption and lower household bills. Forte Heating Services offers expert advice and practical tips specifically tailored to help Surrey residents achieve meaningful savings this spring and summer.
Schedule Regular Boiler Servicing
Even though your heating may be used less frequently in warmer months, regular boiler servicing remains essential. Forte Heating’s qualified engineers perform comprehensive inspections across Surrey, ensuring your boiler operates at peak efficiency. A well-maintained boiler consumes less energy, saving you money throughout the year, even when your heating demands are lower.
Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient Boiler
If your boiler is outdated, spring and summer are the ideal times to upgrade to a high-efficiency boiler. Modern boilers significantly reduce energy consumption and bills. Forte Heating specialises in boiler installations in Surrey, providing reliable and energy-efficient solutions tailored to your home’s specific needs.
Utilise Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats offer precise control over your heating system, allowing you to optimise energy usage and significantly lower bills. Forte Heating’s Surrey-based experts can advise on and install smart thermostats, giving you better management of your home’s temperature and energy efficiency.
Improve Insulation
Good insulation dramatically reduces heat loss, keeping your Surrey home cooler in summer and warmer in winter. Forte Heating recommends checking and improving your home’s insulation, including loft insulation, cavity wall insulation, and double glazing. Enhanced insulation ensures your heating and cooling systems operate more efficiently, resulting in reduced energy bills.
Radiator Maintenance
During spring and summer, radiators should be inspected and maintained to ensure efficient performance. Air trapped in radiators or sludge buildup reduces efficiency and increases energy consumption. Forte Heating’s heating engineers provide essential radiator maintenance in Surrey, including bleeding and power flushing, ensuring maximum efficiency and minimal energy use.
Switch Off Heating Completely When Not Needed
During warmer months, you may find your heating unnecessary. Switching off your boiler entirely when heating is not needed can yield considerable energy savings. If you’re uncertain about shutting down your boiler, Forte Heating’s skilled Surrey-based engineers can offer advice tailored specifically to your heating system.
Hot Water Tank Insulation
For homes with hot water tanks, ensuring adequate insulation is essential for maintaining water temperature and minimising energy use. A well-insulated tank retains heat better, reducing the frequency of reheating and lowering energy costs. Forte Heating can assess your system and advise on proper insulation methods specifically for Surrey homeowners.
Schedule Heating System Checks
Regular checks by Forte Heating’s expert Surrey engineers help identify potential efficiency issues early, preventing costly energy wastage. Spring and summer offer ideal timing for such inspections, enabling your heating system to operate at maximum efficiency throughout the year.
Educate Your Household
Simple habits, like adjusting thermostats, reducing hot water usage, and closing blinds during peak sun hours, can significantly lower your energy bills. Forte Heating encourages Surrey homeowners to adopt energy-conscious behaviours, leading to sustainable savings over time.
Lowering your energy bills doesn’t have to involve drastic changes. Forte Heating Services offers practical, affordable solutions to improve your Surrey home’s energy efficiency.
