Have your boiler regularly serviced
If your boiler is not in good working order then it’s probably not working as efficiently as it should be. Keep up with boiler services every year to prevent ongoing problems and if you notice a change in the way its performing be sure to call a professional engineer who can take a look.
Keep the windows and doors closed when the heating is on
When your heating is on, be mindful of how you could be letting all of that hot air escape. For example, keeping windows and doors open can instantly cool down the room and your heating will go to waste! Furthermore, this may cause you to increase the thermostat and therefore add to your heating bill.
Use the timer
The timer is there for a reason so make good use of it, that way you have more control over your usage. Having the heating on for a couple of hours in the morning and in the afternoon is a good idea instead of keeping it running constantly. Additionally, set your thermostat to the right temperature. The recommended temperature for offices and sedentary work is 21–23°C, however, most people feel comfortable in a temperature range of between 18-26°C.
