Modern central heating systems can provide instant heat and hot water whenever and wherever you want it. No more having to prepare or wait for your current heating system to kick-in. Just switch your new central heating on, or even programme it to come on before you get up and to go off when you are snug in bed. With thermostatic controls, you can choose to have some rooms warmer than others – saving energy and your money, and protecting the environment by reducing carbon emissions. The choice is yours and is as simple as pressing just one button.

OFGEM’S ENERGY PRICE CAP

The energy price cap is a limit on the amount energy providers can charge you for your average energy use per year. However, in February 2021 Ofgem announced an increase in the energy price cap from 1 April 2021. This means that every household will expect an increase in their gas and electricity bills, albeit being capped for typical households at £1138. Now is the time for you to take action.

ELECTRIC STORAGE HEATERS / ELECTRIC PANEL HEATERS

Most of our customers who have already applied for full central heating or replacement electric storage/panel heaters stated how useless they are, and more importantly how expensive they are to run. This winter, these customers have benefited from more efficient and effective heaters that cost less to run. Their homes are warmer, and warmer for longer.
