Energy prices may have settled compared to recent peaks, but heating remains one of the largest ongoing household costs in the UK. For many homes, the instinct is to look straight at the boiler when bills feel high.
If your heating is on but your home still doesn’t feel as warm as it should, the issue may not be your boiler; it could be how your radiators are being used. This guide highlights the most common radiator efficiency mistakes and how to avoid them.
A few simple checks throughout winter can help keep your radiators running efficiently, improve comfort, and reduce the risk of problems when your heating is under the most strain.
As we battle to keep cool in the hot summer months, naturally, the thought of home heating is the last thing on our minds. However, now is the perfect time to check that your home’s heating is in good working order, so you're not caught short when the temperature drops.
At the heart of radiator performance lies a crucial concept called Delta T (ΔT), which might seem technical at first but is actually quite straightforward once we break it down. This guide will help you understand why Delta T matters and how it affects your home heating.
The idea that leaving your heating on all day is cheaper than turning it on and off as needed is a common question, especially during the colder months. The answer, though, depends on several factors, including the insulation of your home, the type of heating system you have, and your energy use habits.
Whilst the relationship between your home's level of insulation and the BTUs (British Thermal Units) required to heat it is straightforward, it is still an important consideration to make.
