Electric Local Heaters

Regularly remove dust from radiators

Radiators may not receive as much attention during your routine weekly clean that other parts of the home warrant.

Keeping your radiator in good condition, both inside and out will maximise the heat output of your system, driving increased levels of energy efficiency.

Close shutters and curtains at night in all rooms

Shutters keep heat from escaping out through the windows which, along with the roof of a house, is where heat escapes the most.

Fully closed shutters or curtains form a secondary barrier between the room and the window they are fitted to, which provides insulation at night.

Do not place furniture or objects in front of radiators

You should never place furniture directly in front of a radiator.

Obstruction to a radiator prevents heat from being distributed freely throughout the room, and could damage your fornituure over time from the close exposure to heat.

When you are away, lower the set temperature

Leaving your home for a break away? Then why leave your heating on full while no one is home?

Turning your thermostat down will enable your system to operate at an economical level, maintaining your home’s warmth yet not using too much energy.

Adjust the temperature of the radiators according to occupancy and use

Find yourself using that spare room more than your sitting room now that you’re working from home more often?

To save energy, you can adjust the temperature of the radiators in each room based on how often the room is occupied.

If there are rooms in your home you don't use regularly, you could turn the radiator off and close the door.
