Ten ways to ensure you’re not overpaying for energy

In the Metro and Scottish Metro recently, there was an in-depth list of ways to help families with keeping their energy bills down, where our LoftZone Owner and CEO was quoted on giving one of his tips on how to reduce heating bills.

3 – Don’t heat unused rooms

Most of us don’t use our bedrooms during the day – in fact we may be at home and working in only one room. Heating only those you are using in the daytime will keep the cost down.

Dave Raval, energy expert from insulation business LoftZone recommends fitting a thermostatic radiator valve (TRV) to each radiator so they can be adjusted separately.

‘Most homes have one single thermostat controlling your temperature, but many rooms need less heat’ he says.

‘Does your bedroom need to be hot at midday? Does your hall need to be as warm as your lounge? TRVs can be fitted without need to do any plumbing – they just screw on and allow you to turn down or up individual radiators – easy.’

The simples TRVs have a numbered dial with each number corresponding to a temperature range so you can have your lounge set more toastily than your bedrooms, for example.

Smart TRVs allow you to control each room of your house separately, from the same app.
