Harrow boiler service engineers available for appointments With the cost of gas rising all the time and with winters getting colder, keeping your boiler operating at peak efficiency is more important than ever.

For more information about our Harrow boiler service team, please call 020 8863 1155. Your boiler keeps your home warm and your water hot. If you’ve ever lived somewhere where the boiler has broken, you’ll understand just how disruptive it is to a home and a family. If your boiler is working too hard, you’ll see the difference with significantly increased gas bills. Your radiators won’t be as warm as they should be and your water will never hit that temperature sweet spot you want for having a bath or doing the dishes. There’s also a big health and safety issue too with the potential for real dangers like poisonous carbon monoxide leaks that could occur. As the gas is colourless and scentless, it’s hard to tell if this is even an issue, and hence why you should get your boiler serviced at least once a year for an annual service. Landlords by law must also have a gas safety check carried out every 12 months. See extra details on https://www.peterbrown.net/boiler-service-harrow.html.
Insulating your whole house professionally can seem expensive to some. But DIY loft insulation is a possibility. Rolls of foam insulation are cheap, says Brennand, and three rolls of 8in deep foam should be enough to give most lofts an important layer of protection. Mineral wool (such as Rockwool or Rocksil), glass fibre and recycled paper products all work well, according to the NEF. But remember to wear a facemask, goggles and protective clothing if you do it yourself, and leave sufficient gaps around the eaves to avoid condensation, the NEF warns. If you’re on certain benefits and own or privately rent your home, you might be eligible for help with energy-saving home improvements under the Energy Companies Obligation (ECO) – a government energy efficiency programme brought in this year.
Upgrade heating controls: Smart thermostat imageRoom thermostats allow households to set and maintain the temperature at home. A programmer sets the heating to turn on and off at certain times of the day to suit your lifestyle. Thermostatic radiator valves (TRVs) let householders control the temperature of each radiator. Cost: Costs can vary significantly due to the variety of heating systems types and sizes and controls available. We recommended comparing quotes from professional installers. Saving: Installing and using a full set of heating controls means that you can be warm exactly when and where you want in your home. You could also save around £80 a year if you currently don’t have any of these heating controls.
Walk in showers are stylish and offer a practical solution for those with limited space because they have no doors that require room to open. If you like the idea of this modern, stylish solution you have several great options to choose from. Walk in showers are usually large enough to incorporate a drying area – so no need to step out into the cold air ever again!. If you like the idea of a true wet room experience, we can make your bathroom a completely watertight, fully tiled room, with or without a partial screen. As an added luxury, and if your ceiling height permits, you could select a ceiling-mounted shower head to give your walk in shower a glorious, hotel style rainshower effect, or alternatively a wall-mounted waterfall shower column gives an equally luxury feel. Enclosed shower cubicles (also called cabins or pods) are self contained units set on an integrated shower tray. Dependent on the space you have available they are a compact option with several sizes and shapes of tray available and a several door opening choices. For example the best solution for your bathroom may be a single sliding door, a pivot door, a bifold or quad doors where two doors slide out like wings. An enclosed cubicle can give the choice of square, rectangular, quadrant and even offset options. See additional info on https://www.peterbrown.net/harrow-shower-solutions.html.
Pipe lagging (insulating hot water pipes with foam tubes) keeps the water inside your pipes hotter for longer and protects against the cold. It also makes your heating and hot water much more efficient. You can buy pipe lagging from any DIY store and fit it in seconds, no tools required. If your home has a draught, patch it up. Filling in the gaps around windows and doors can help you save on your heating bills, so spending a few pounds on window draught excluder – an insulating tape – is a great investment. Fitting it is a breeze too, just make sure it sits snugly.
