New & Replacement Central heating Boilers

Once more it bears mentioning that the cost of energy in the UK is forever increasing, and in many cases far faster than the regular cost of living – this can put a very dent in any family budget.

There may come a time when your boiler breaks down and then you may have to decide whether to save money in the short or long term – do you go for a cheap fix & repair your boiler or take the long view and save a lot more money over the longer term by going for a very energy efficient replacement boiler?

If you have low demands on your hot water needs a Combi-boiler could do the job very well and new ones are claimed to be over 90% efficient at using energy and can produce instant hot water for use around the home – although they may not be powerful enough to run your heating, for domestic hot water use they are great.

Condenser Boilers

These are “closed system boilers” usually supplied direct from your main water supply and can easily handle the demands of a large home with central heating & hot water to the taps. The range of product available is huge and competition from Natural Gas boiler manufacturers & suppliers is intense, so you should be able to find a good deal out there

Boiler Grants

If you have a very old inefficient boiler (less than 70% efficient) you ma be lucky enough to be able to get a grant or payment towards replacing it – however, you have to bear in mind that this grant comes out of a government budget and if you time your application wrongly in the financial year you could be too late to get it and miss out. Its sometimes a bit of a lottery as to who gets it & who doesn’t.

• Always use a Gas Safe registered engineer to fit the boilers

Extending Your Home With a Conservatory & The Benefits of Having a New UPVC Conservatory

When was the last time your great afternoon in the garden was ruined by wind & rain? Pretty recently if you live in the UK I’m sure and I’m thinking that you have said to yourself on many occasions that you just don’t’ get to enjoy your garden or entertain friends because of the bad weather.

A possible solution to this is to add a conservatory or sun-room to your house, giving you the opportunity to enjoy a naturally lit and protected living space all year round.

UPVC Conservatories

The term uPVC refers to the material that the frames are made from, this is unplasiticised poly-vinyl chloride (or Vinyl for short)

This material has dominated over wood or aluminium in the conservatory market and is most recommended due to its durability, ease of use, long life span & low maintenance needs – you can clean the whole frame down with hot soapy water instead of having to sandpaper & paint (or stain)

The low requirement for maintenance allows a uPVC conservatory to withstand the rigours of the British weather easily – wood becomes faded, varnish chips, peels & cracks, aluminium slowly dulls and low quality examples will slowly corrode.

Hiring a trades-person to refresh the paintwork is expensive enough even without adding the cost of the materials to do the job (plus the inconvenience) – if you do it yourself (and if you’re honest about it) it never really looks quite as good as it did when it was first built does it?

UPVC just needs washing to keep its looks year after year – easy.

Options to consider

Thinking about the weather issue, you should consider double or triple glazing the room as this will greatly help “even out” temperature fluctuations between cold & hot seasons – keeping cool in summer, warm in winter.

• Conservatory blinds can be aftermarket or even built into the glazed units at outset
• Underfloor heating is a great option giving optimum warmth spread across the room evenly and can be retro-fitted or built-in.
• Doors – why not look to super wide opening bi-fold doors or stylish French Doors to dramatically open up your room into the garden?.

You could also add that little extra touch by having a wooden deck area just outside the doors and if you combine this with a “veranda conservatory” design it creates an extra area which is outside but still has weather protection via the glazed roofline overhang.

As a multi-purpose living space, I don’t think you could find a more versatile solution than by installing a modern uPVC Conservatory. With conservatory prices covering budget to premium there is going to be a design to match your price range for sure.

With the cost of a 3×3 conservatory (metres) coming in at a starting price of around £1,500 it seems that’s pretty cheap for an extra room on your home.
