1.Turn your thermostat down by 1 degree... you wont notice the temperature difference but it will save around 10% from your fuel bill
2.Don't leave things on standby... check around your house for little red lights, they are costing you money!
3.Try not to over fill your kettle when you boil it

INFRANOMIC CENTRAL HEATING

SYSTEM INSTALLED

 

For one householder and client of St Andrews Environmental Network, Monday 8th of October began the two day installation of a new Infranomic heating system, supplied and installed by Direct Savings, Livingstone, in partnership with StAndEN.

This project will see all those involved, Direct Savings, University of St Andrews, and StAndEN working together to carefully monitor the amount of electricity required to run this type of heating.

 

It is hoped that the outcome for the householder will be that her electricity consumption and her resulting bills are reduced. The household will experience increased comfort levels so even if costs remain the same Infranomic eating will be proved to out perform Electric Storage Heating.

The selected household’s current storage heating is expensive and difficult to control, and the new system provides a fully controlled electric central heating to the property. You can understand the delight of our client to try out a new concept which also has good health benefits.

Unlike conventional radiators that you see next to windows and walls, the new slim-line heaters can even be fitted to the ceiling and are all thermostatically controlled by a wall thermostat.

The team will be monitoring the clients use, taking regular meter readings and take note of likes/dislikes from the client.

The project is hoped to have good results that will benefit property dwellers in the future as it is well known the cost of keeping your home warm during these cold spells is escalating all the time.
