With less of a reliance on our boiler and central heating, it’s a good idea to take advantage of our experienced and full-qualified engineers who can ensure your boiler is the best possible working order – rather than you finding out in the winter when it’s too late.

Take Advantage Of Warmer Weather For Your Service

You may have been reluctant to shut down your boiler and have it serviced in the early months of this year but, with temperatures rising and more of us choosing to switch off our heating throughout the day, it’s the ideal opportunity to get things looked at.

In the spring and summer months we don’t rely on our central heating too much, and certainly not as much as we do in the winter. That’s why it’s a great idea to plan ahead and get your boiler serviced now, to ensure any issues are ironed out ahead of time.

Avoid Any Nasty Autumn & Winter Surprises

Not only is now the best time to shut down your heating and get it serviced, but doing so will ensure that your boiler and central heating system is working when you’re going to rely on it most. We regularly get calls from of people who have neglected to get their boiler serviced earlier in the year and, come the autumn and winter months, it can break down – leaving them without heating when they need it the most.

By arranging your boiler service now, our experienced boiler engineers can ensure that your boiler is in good condition, with any potential problems pre-emptively ironed out. Our honest and reliable services will ensure you only get the service you need.

If your boiler is due for a service or some maintenance or repair work, then the spring and summer seasons are the perfect time to get boiler servicing from Moatside Plumbing & Heating. With less of a reliance on heating, you can afford to have your boiler and central heating thoroughly checked out, to avoid any problems in the autumn and winter.

One option to consider is choosing an oil fired boiler over a conventional gas setup – but just what advantages do oil boilers have over other methods?

1. Increasing In Heating Efficiency
Figures from the Energy Saving Trust suggest that older generation boilers generally only operate at between 70%-75% efficiency, meaning around a quarter or more of the heat generated by the boiler is wasted.

Modern oil boilers tend to operate far more efficiently, at levels of up to 90%, meaning that as little as 10% of the energy is wasted.

2. Reduction In Running Costs
The increase in efficiency can mean significant savings on your heating and energy bills, with annual savings of anywhere between £100 and £300 possible – though this does of course depend on how efficient your existing boiler is and how much you pay for your energy.

3. New Oil Boilers Much More Efficient Than Older Ones
In the past, little changed about the design and efficiency of boilers – particularly oil fired boilers. In recent years, however, the move towards combi and condensing boilers means that the systems are able to retain much more of the heat compared with the non-condensing older models. So even if you currently have an oil-fired boiler in your home, it may be time to upgrade and improve your home’s heating efficiency.

If you’re looking to improve your home’s heating efficiency, or just need to upgrade your old boiler, then our oil boiler installation services can help. As OFTEC approved installers, as recommended by the Energy Saving Trust, we are the perfect choice for providing you with a new oil boiler.

Here at Moatside Plumbing & Heating we specialise in providing expert boiler installations across Northampton and any surrounding areas, so give us a call today on 01604 420 520 to discuss your needs and arrange your installation.

But thankfully, with Moatside Plumbing & Heating, it doesn’t have to be that way. Thanks to our team of experienced engineers, we can help improve the energy efficiency of you home with a range of solutions designed to lower your bills and keep your lights on!

Energy Efficient Appliances

This covers a broad spectrum of technology and solutions, but they all effectively fall under the same bracket of allowing you to maintain your standard of living but with less energy consumption and therefore a reduced cost – you might even find your home a lot more comfortable as a result.

The first port of call for boosting your home’s efficiency should always be your boiler. If you have an old, inefficient setup then you could save up £310 a year by installing an A-rated boiler compared with an out-of-date G-rated unit. Not only that, but you’ll also find your new boiler will likely work a lot more efficiently, heating hot water better and pumping out your central heating more effectively.

We can also provide a number of non-essential appliances that can increase the comfort and efficiency of your home’s heating. Underfloor heating, for example, can be a perfect addition to your bathroom not only providing a space-saving luxury but also kitting out your bathroom with a much more efficient method of heating which can help cut your bills.

Solar Panels & Green Technology

As well as cutting down your energy usage, we can also help you generate your own. We offer solar panel and solar thermal installations to help you both reduce your bills and your carbon footprints. Both types of solar technology are a great way to reduce your dependency on ‘grid’ energy sources, such as electricity and gas, and both offer incentive schemes to provide you with an investment as well as a way of reducing your bills. Solar PV panels, for example, are eligible for the government’s ‘feed-in tariff’, which pays money for any power generated.

However you want to improve your home’s efficiency, you can count on us here at Moatside Plumbing & Heating to provide you with a comprehensive service to transform your home into green money-saver. Call us today on 01604 420 520 to call our experienced engineers and plumbers in Northamptonshire for help.

Saying it’s not comfortable is an understatement of the year. But with our helpful heating advice here at Moatside, as well as our unbeatable services, you’ll have a warm and comfortable bathroom in next to no time.

Get Your Boiler Serviced

Poor-performing heating can be down to a number of reasons, but a well maintained boiler and central heating system is of course paramount to effective heating. Here at Moatside Plumbing & Heating, we recommend that you get your boiler serviced once a year to ensure everything works effectively and efficiently, and also to avoid major problems developing over long periods of time.

Ultimately, an effective boiler and central heating system will ensure your bathroom being heating exactly as you would expect – toasty warm towels and no unpleasant wintery chills when you step out of the shower! By having any necessary repairs or maintenance work carried out by our experienced engineers here at Moatside, you’ll have complete peace of mind that your heating is up to scratch.

Underfloor Heating

No longer an expensive luxury item, underfloor heating is now an affordable and effective way to heat your bathroom. As well as making the room far more comfortable, heating the room from the ground up and warming those usually cold tiles, the efficiency in the way underfloor heating systems work mean that you can reduce your household heating bills as a result.

As well as benefiting from a warmer, much more comfortable bathroom and lower heating bills, underfloor heating will take up literally no extra floor space – perfect if you’re tight on space in your bathroom, and don’t like the idea of bulky radiators taking up lots of room.

Whatever you need to turn your bathroom from a cold, porcelain nightmare into a warm and welcoming room for relaxation, then we’re here to help. Covering the whole of Northamptonshire with our expert services, we can help transform your bathroom and improve your central heating.

Whilst there has been a big push for air source and ground source heat pumps alongside biomass devices to be installed at both domestic and commercial properties up and down the country in order to improve efficiency and reduce bills, it can be argued that there are better ways of saving money.

An efficiently running oil system does have its benefits in today’s society, and when you compare the installation and running costs of such a system with air source, ground source or biomass products, you will see that they are considerably cheaper. Of course, the renewable energy sources do have the advantage that they cut down on carbon dioxide emissions, which an oil system does not, however there are potential changes in terms of that too!

At present there are many different biofuels currently being developed which will cut emissions considerably, so an alternative method of protecting the environment whilst also saving money will soon be available. With issues such as how to ensure biofuels are competitively priced and available in large quantities still to overcome, there is some work yet to be done, however the basics for using this form of energy moving forward are certainly in place.

If the increased use of oil systems does come to fruition, it will be essential that you ensure your system remains efficient through regular services and maintenance work. A regular service will help to identify any potential issues earlier whilst maintenance work will ensure the system is always running to the best of its ability; services which we here at Moatside Plumbing & Heating can offer to you.

With this in mind, if you want to improve the efficiency of your current oil system, don’t hesitate to contact our expert team today to discover exactly what we can do for you!
