3. Check your radiators are balanced You could have clean system water, but a shoddily balanced heating system will result in you spending more money heating up your home than you need to. Are your radiators balanced? The image above shows the impact of an unbalanced heating system on a typical household. In an unbalanced system, when you set the thermostat to 20°C, the upstairs might actually reach 23°C. While downstairs, where most of us spend the majority of our day, will still be too cold. If you turn the thermostat up, until downstairs reaches a comfortable temperature, then upstairs is overheated, resulting in a thermostat that’s set at too high a temperature, leading to higher bills. According to the Energy Savings Trust, increasing the temperature by just one degree will increase your annual heating bill by about 10%. So it pays to keep your thermostat as low as possible, while obviously keeping your home comfortable to live in. If you are having a new boiler installed, your system will need to be re-balanced. After the installation, you should insist that your heating engineer provides proof that your system has been balanced before paying for the installation. Ask to see the engineer's benchmark agreement, or simply run the heating for a few hours to check that your system is properly balanced.
