Cost effective heating systems

Buying guides

Since winter is forever on the horizon in the UK, central heating systems are an essential part of our lives. And bitterly cold winters make insulating our homes a top priority, but where do you start trying to find the right set up for your house? What are the options available to you? How do you know that it'll even work?

Before you make any decisions to install a new heating system or replace a boiler, take a look at the two options below for an idea of the modern heating technologies and techniques available to you.

Under floor heating

One of the more cost effective and energy efficient ways of heating any building, under floor heating is quick and easy to install, requires very little maintenance and is known for providing even warmth as opposed to radiators that may leave your home with some cold patches.

Solar heating

Solar panels are the ultimate in providing eco-friendly energy. Using them with a Solar Hot Water Cylinder could provide you with around half your hot water needs, putting less strain on your boiler and cutting your fuel bills down to size.

Heating protection

Under floor heating and solar heating are only two great ways to save some cash (and the planet) whilst keeping warm during the cold winter months. If you do install a heating system though, it's important that you're protected against unexpected faults.
