WHY IT’LL BOOST YOUR HOME’S VALUE…

 In an average home, more than half of fuel bills go towards heating and hot water. Along with effective insulation, it’s worth checking to see how efficient your system is, then you can work towards reducing both fuel bills and carbon emissions.

 Lower running costs are always a positive. If you have an old boiler, consider replacing it with a more efficient condensing model as this can help you make savings in the long run, and will appeal to buyers. It may also be worth looking into installing solar panels or heat pumps. For more informatio­n on better ways to heat your home, see energysavi­ngtrust.org.uk.

 It may be less exciting than other renovation­s, but replacing tired flooring and making sure your central heating is efficient will increase your home’s value both in terms of its saleabilit­y and enjoyabili­ty. If you’re planning on changing your floors, it’s a good idea to install underfloor heating while you’re at it.

 Underfloor heating will warm a room in a cost-effective way and means there’s no need for radiators, making it an ideal choice in kitchens, where walls can be used to accommodat­e extra storage or even be knocked through.

A SMART HEATING system that you can control easily can help you REDUCE FUEL BILLS
