1. Stay on top of your heating system and slash energy bills with a wireless TRV

   Up to 11 million UK households could be over-spending on energy by not using appropriate heating controls, a relatively small investment that could potentially reduce running costs by 40%, recent research undertaken by Salford University has been able to reveal.

   The research undertaken by Salford University showed that a relatively small investment on heating controls could bring annual savings of around £290 per year for a typical household.

   Results showed that installing a room thermostat and full set of TRVs could reduce energy costs by 40% – much more than previously assumed – and the payback on the investment was typically between 9 and 18 months.

   Roderick Pettigrew, Chief Executive of the Building & Engineering Services Association (B&ES), comments: “Installing a room thermostat in one room and thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) in all other rooms will maintain each room at the required temperature all year round and no heat is wasted by keeping rooms warmer than they need to be. By installing and using boiler heating controls correctly the boiler will run more efficiently and use less energy to maintain a comfortable temperature, resulting in lower energy bills. Households can start saving straightaway by adding controls to their existing system; heating controls can be fitted at any time – not just when replacing the boiler.”

   While a thermostat and TRVs will certainly help reduce energy bills, the HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves could do a lot more than that.

   The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the easiest to install and most cost-effective and efficient energy management products on the market. They are particularly suitable for retrofitting, since one simply has to remove the existing TRV and replace it with the HeatSave unit.

   Remotely controlled via an easily-accessible web interface, the HeatSave valves enable users to achieve impressive savings, slashing one’s heating bills by up to 30%, especially when coupled with the HeatingSave Building Energy Management System.

2. Efficient energy management could help save ‘save £500m a year’

   British households could save in excess of £500 million a year by taking active control of their heating, a recent report by the Energy Saving Trust (EST) was able to reveal.

   Unfortunately, British householders are not using their heating control systems in an optimum manner. In fact, although 78% of consumers surveyed by the EST claim to understand how to use their heating, half of them are actually incorrectly using the controls.

   Findings published by the EST also suggest that nearly 40% of Brits believe it’s more efficient to leave the heating on all the time, more than a third (35%) turn up their room thermostat when they want the room to heat up quicker and nearly a third (31%) leave their water heating on all the time to make sure they never run out.

   All of the above are simple myths, which, however, tend to bring about unnecessary additions to one’s energy bills. Philip Sellwood, Chief Executive of EST said: “Rightfully, millions of householders are confused by their heating controls because, let’s be honest, it is a bit of a minefield. There are plenty of myths out there and it’s no wonder people aren’t getting it right.”

   If you’re looking for a solution to bust the aforementioned myths and slash energy spending by controlling each radiator in your house separately, then the HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the perfect tools for this job.

   The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the easiest to install and most cost-effective and efficient energy management products on the market. They are particularly suitable for retrofitting, since one simply has to remove the existing TRV and replace it with the HeatSave unit.

3. High-rise flats in Smethwick to undergo major improvement works

   A number of high-rise flats in Smethwick, West Midlands, are set to undergo an £11m makeover as part of the partnership between professional services experts at Keepmoat and the Sandwell Council, a recent news report was able to reveal.

   As part of this ambitious project, the blocks will get new roofs, energy efficient external cladding and residents’ flats will benefit from new windows and balconies.

   The works are set to change the external of the buildings with a refreshed look, which will not only improve the aesthetics for the community but also help to reduce fuel bills for the residents and increase the lifespan of the buildings themselves.

   Neil Baxter, Keepmoat’s Regional Director for the West Midlands, said: “We’re looking forward to working closely with Sandwell over the next two years to help the council deliver its ambitions to improve the quality of local housing for residents.

   “Improving the standard of housing is crucial for delivering community regeneration and this comprehensive programme of work will make a real difference to people’s homes.”

   Any major redevelopment and improvement project should include solid and efficient energy efficiency provisions.

   The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the easiest to install and most cost-effective energy-saving measures on the market. They are particularly suitable for retrofitting, since one simply has to remove the existing TRV and replace it with the HeatSave unit.

   The wireless thermostatic radiator valves enable users to set specific functioning times for each valve, and, since radiators are individually controlled, home owners are fully capable to maximise the zoning potential and reduce energy consumption in those areas that are not used for longer periods of time (as for example, dining or sitting rooms and kitchens during the night, etc.).

   Additionally, the HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves also provide an automatic exercising feature when unused for 7 days, whose purpose is to minimise seizing of radiator valves in warmer months.

   All in all, the HeatSave TRVs enable users to achieve some pretty impressive savings, as they will help reduce your heating bills by up to 30%, especially when coupled with the HeatingSave Building Energy Management System.

4. How to slash energy bills and cut CO2 emissions

   Housing across the UK accounts for 27% of the country’s CO2 emissions, but this figure will have to be further pushed down in order to attain the target of 80% reduction in carbon emissions by 2050.

   In order to do so, home owners will have to put in specific measures designed to make their heating systems more energy efficient, while also better insulating their homes.

   Knowsley Housing Trust gives a few noteworthy examples of immediate and effective measures that could be implemented in order to reduce emissions and cut energy bills. The trust has undertaken over the last 10 years to push properties up to the Decent Homes Standards has contributed to a 54% carbon reduction across housing and has also helped tenants save £8.2m in energy bills.

   Measures implemented by the team include improving the insulation and airtightness of the properties, which deliver huge social and environmental benefits. It is possible to achieve huge carbon reduction levels in housing, helping people to live comfortably while reducing their energy bills.

   The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves represent some of the easiest to install and most cost-effective energy-saving measures out there, as they enable users to set specific functioning times for each valve, and, since radiators are individually controlled, home owners are fully capable to maximise the zoning potential and reduce energy consumption in those areas that are not used for longer periods of time (as for example, dining or sitting rooms and kitchens during the night, etc.).
