  1. Sheltered accommodation residents protest against heating system modifications

    Leave a Comment

    A sheltered housing provider has come under fire after residents complained about not being able to alter the heating in their own homes.

    Concerned residents argued that Anchor, which manages High Lee House, on Broad Road, in Sale, Cheshire, installed a new boiler in the building in March. Since the boiler is controlled externally, residents are not able to alter heating within their flats.

    People living in the building have organised a petition against the heating changes which 23 of the 25 flats have signed up to and have had several meetings with their ward councillor on this topic.

    On the other hand, Anchor has claimed that the heating in High Lee is never turned off, but rather, is always maintained between 21 and 24 degrees Celsius. Andrew Appleton, district manager for High Lee House, said Anchor’s heating policy is based on Age UK advice and the company has “a duty of care to provide a safe, comfortable environment at all of our locations”.

  2. New ‘Little Bill’ campaign to help people save money on their energy bills

    A local council has recently launched a new campaign aimed to help people save money on bills and improve the energy efficiency of their homes, a news report on the matter was able to reveal.

    Manchester Council’s ‘Little Bill’ campaign will see local councils across the region work with the Greater Manchester Energy Advice (GMEA) line to help households cut their bills.

    There are a variety of offers available including up to £7,000 for energy improvement work. This can include funding towards solid wall insulation, new efficient boilers, floor insulation, double or triple glazing, or flue gas heat recovery and free surveys.

    Residents also have the opportunity to have solar panels which generate free day time electricity which will be fully maintained by the supplier for 20 years.

    The offer of up to £7,000 towards energy saving home improvements is open to homeowners and private tenants living in designated areas. Anyone who wants to take part pays for a £90 green deal assessment which will be refunded if the work goes ahead.

    The HeatSave thermostatic radiator valves are the most cost-effective energy-saving measures one can implement, as they enable users to set specific functioning times for each valve. Plus, 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 impressive savings, as they will help reduce your heating bills by up to 30%.

  3. How to save money and cut your energy bills by 30%+

    1 Comment

    Energy efficiency and optimized heating are much more than popular buzz words nowadays. Household energy bills seem to be going only one way (and that’s certainly not down), so every home owner should be proactive and look at implementing intelligent and innovative solutions designed to help them cut their energy bills without breaking the bank in the process.

    And no, simply turning the thermostat down by a degree or two is certainly not the way to do it, especially if you happen to be living in an older, poorly insulated house and you haven’t upgraded your boiler and radiators in more than a decade.

    Unfortunately, installing a modern, energy-efficient boiler and new radiators can cost upwards of 5,000 – 7,500 pounds, in some cases. For this reason, the best way to optimize energy expenditure within older buildings is to opt for an energy management system that will run your existing boiler and radiators in a highly efficient and economical manner.

    The HeatSave wireless thermostatic radiator valves, coupled with the HeatingSave Building Energy Management System, can help you reduce heating bills by up to 30 per cent. They’re very easy to install on your radiators (especially if they already have regular thermostatic radiator valves fitted), and results are immediately visible – you’ll be able to heat just the rooms you need on a daily basis, while also running your boilers more efficiently.
