About Energy Efficiency
Scientific evidence is growing that man-made greenhouse gas emissions are having a noticeable effect on the earth's climate. The threat to the environment is well publicised, with the earth becoming warmer, sea levels rising and the risk of drought and flooding increasing.
Helping the environment
Using energy efficient products in your home not only helps you to reduce running costs, but also helps the environment by cutting down on carbon dioxide emissions, the greenhouse gas which is a key contributor to climate change.
Legislation and initiatives
The current government produced an Energy White Paper in 2003 which defines a long term strategic vision to reduce the UK's carbon dioxide emissions by as much as 60% before the year 2050. How we heat our homes has a direct impact on the level of emissions (domestic boilers account for up to a third of all domestic CO2 emissions) and new Building Regulations were introduced in April 2005 to enforce the use of high efficiency appliances in new installations.
Measures you can take
As well as fitting a high efficiency condensing boiler there are other measures you can take to ensure that your system is as efficient as possible and is not using fuel unnecessarily. Thermostats, time switches, programmers and thermostatic radiator valves all help you control your system for maximum efficiency. Visit www.saveenergy.co.uk boilers for more energy saving tips.
