❄️ How to Reduce Your Energy Bills This Winter
Simple changes can make a BIG difference to your home’s comfort and running costs — whether you heat with a heat pump, boiler, or a hybrid system.
Here are our top tips as Norfolk’s trusted heating specialists:
🔧 1. Lower Your Flow Temperature
Running your system at a lower, steady temperature can save a surprising amount of energy.
For heat pumps, this is essential — but even gas boilers run more efficiently at lower flow rates.
🎛️ 2. Check Your Thermostat Settings
✅ Make sure your thermostat isn’t working against you.
✅ Avoid large temperature swings
✅ Use small, consistent adjustments
✅ Ensure thermostats aren’t blocked by furniture or curtains
✅ A well-positioned thermostat can reduce energy waste instantly.
🩸 3. Bleed Your Radiators
Cold spots? Gurgling noises?
Your system is working harder than it needs to.
A quick bleed can improve heat output and reduce costs — especially before the cold sets in.
🌦️ 4. Use Weather Compensation
If your system supports it, weather compensation adjusts your heating automatically based on outdoor temperature.
🛠️ 5. Book a Heating Service
A serviced system runs smoother, uses less energy and is far less likely to fail in winter.
This applies to heat pumps, boilers, AC systems, and unvented cylinders (G3).
A professional check-up can boost efficiency by 10–25% — often paying for itself in winter savings.
