Energy efficiency in your home

With gas and electricity prices rising, it's important to improve energy efficiency in your home - and there are many ways you can do this. You can improve home energy efficiency by doing simple things, such as switching to energy saving light bulbs and using better loft insulation but if you want to really save energy and enjoy efficient home heating, you should invest in a high efficiency boiler - it's one of the best ways of improving energy efficiency.

Save energy with a high efficiency boiler from
Glow-worm

All Glow-worm boilers are rated A / B in the Government's SEDBUK home energy efficiency scale, and are recommended by the Energy Saving Trust.

High efficiency condensing boilers improve energy efficiency and save energy by recovering as much heat as possible, which in a conventional (non-condensing) boiler is normally wasted from the flue.

This also means they are far cheaper to run, using up to 35% less gas than older boilers. When you save energy, you save money.

The Energy Saving Trust estimates that by fitting a new high efficiency condensing boiler with full heating controls, as well as improving energy efficiency, you will also significantly cut your home's carbon dioxide emissions as well as save as much as £270 a year.

To improve energy efficiency Glow-worm recommends...

Ultracom and Flexicom boilers from Glow-worm are both SEDBUK A rated.

Based on 4th generation technology the Ultracom is built with tried and tested components providing proven reliability and exceptional home energy efficiency.

The Flexicom is the only highly efficient home heating appliance on the UK market with a direct rear flue and small enough to fit in a standard kitchen cupboard. Fantastic for replacement installations, the Flexicom eliminates the extra expense needed to fit larger boilers by minimising disruption to existing fixtures and fittings.

Both have programmable controls that work to maintain a constant room temperature. This is a much more efficient way of working, helping the environment and our pockets by helping you save energy and ultimately reducing our heating bills.

So, what next?

Autumn is the ideal time to look at alternatives as it's likely to be a quieter time for installers and far less disruptive time for you to upgrade your boiler.
