Proper insulation
To make sure your home stays warm and cosy, ensuring that it’s well insulated is paramount. There are many types of insulation available and it’s important to have proper coverage for all areas, including the attic and walls, as well as high quality windows and doors. This will help heat up your home faster and keep it warmer for longer periods of time, allowing you to lower your room thermostat temperature. Without proper insulation, your home’s warmth will easily escape through walls and the roof.
If you’re looking for a cost-effective and straightforward way to insulate your home, consider draught-proofing problem areas.
Smart heating controls
During the winter months, keeping your home warm can result in high energy bills and unnecessary wastage. To combat this, consider installing smart heating controls to manage your home’s energy usage. Without proper heating controls, you may be using more energy than you need to heat your home and water. Take control of your energy usage and save money by upgrading your heating system with smart controls.
To make the most out of your property’s energy efficiency, it’s crucial to have control over your heating system from anywhere. Grant provides the necessary controls to operate their Grant Vortex boiler, as well as other technologies like the Grant Uflex underfloor heating and Grant Afinia aluminium radiators, with maximum efficiency and ease all at the touch of a button.
Replace your inefficient boiler
Upgrading an old heating system is the best way to make long-term savings on your annual heating bills. Specifically, if you have an old oil boiler, upgrading to a HVO Biofuel Compatible Grant Vortex Condensing boiler can help save more than 28 per cent – depending on age and make of boiler – in your annual heating bills.
If you live in an older, less efficient home it can be hard to know where to begin with upgrading your home heating system, it can also become quite costly when you add hot water storage and heat emitters into the mix. To avoid the expense and upheaval associated with a full retrofit, it may be worth considering installing a condensing boiler system.
The Vortex range enables those currently using oil for their home heating to easily transition to 100 per cent HVO biofuel in the future as all models within the range are easily adapted by a heating engineer. The use of 100 per cent HVO can result in some 87 per cent reduction in carbon emissions and using this or a percentage blend of HVO with kerosene, will enable properties to transition to a renewable green alternative from 100 per cent kerosene at an affordable cost, with minimum disruption to everyday lives, as opposed to incurring the high cost and disruption associated with deep retrofitting.
Grant’s cutting-edge and reliable heating technologies have propelled the company to the forefront of the industry. By staying ahead of the curve, Grant has been offering homeowners the highest quality, reliable and affordable home heating solutions for over 45 years.
