He’s a name familiar to thousands in the UK, and he doesn’t show any sign of losing the nation’s interest any time soon.

For a start if you’re a central heating owner, he might be able to save you money and provide you with some great tips for reducing those bills. Of course, once you have read what he has to say, you can become your own money saving expert and make changes that will reduce the overall cost of your bills. Here’s how to save money…and energy!
Shop around – here’s something everyone should try at least once in order to save money on things like heating. Comparison sites are quick and easy and they will return accurate and up to date information to make the decision stage much easier. If you prefer to ‘shop around’ using the phone instead, call up some companies and see if you can get something like central heating quotes as a great starting point for saving money. Be wise and don’t accept one quote before getting some more. How can you tell if it’s a good deal?
New boiler time – although it might not feel like it at the time, getting a new boiler could be the key to saving a lot of money in the future. Once you get the initial costs out the way, which include installation and the cost of the appliance itself, you should find that bills come down. A new boiler heats up much more quickly and the house will get warmer, meaning you don’t need to have the central heating turned on as long.
Boiler repair time – not everyone can afford to splash out on a new boiler, so getting the boiler repaired may be the better solution for you. It can be hard to tell if the boiler is working perfectly, so get your trusty engineer to conduct a boiler service and see if he has any recommendations. It is in his best interests to be honest with you and tell you if something needs sorting out. You should find that the boiler repair is a cheaper option to having a new boiler fitted, but if your boiler repeatedly fails then these repairing costs will add up and make it one costly appliance!
With the information included here, you will be well on your way to becoming your own money saving expert. When it comes to energy saving, and central heating in particular, any money saving tips can prove invaluable.
