Creating a warm, comfortable environment is important to your family's comfort. Renovating your home is a great opportunity to update your home heating and see if you can be a bit more energy efficient. But choosing the type of heating system for your renovated home isn’t as straightforward as it used to be. Here’s some things to think about…
Review your options
There are many options to consider when you’re updating your heating system. Gas or oil boilers in combi, system or regular boiler types, heat pumps or hybrid systems can all be considered, depending on your property, budget, and the power you need.
Future-proof your system
Renovating is a great time to update your home heating system. But make sure you consider what your hot water and heating needs will be in your renovated home. Adding bathrooms or living space? Make sure you get the right sized heating system for the comfort you want – your future-self will thank you for it!
Energy efficiency goals
Upgrading your boiler could be a great way to help save on your energy bills. According to the EST, upgrading an old G-rated boiler to an A-rated boiler with full heating controls could save you up to £500 in Great Britain and £440 in Northern Ireland**. Find out more.
Switching to an electrified system, such as a heat pump, is another energy efficient option to consider – lowering your carbon footprint^ and warming your home.
Boiler relocation
Taking into consideration relocating your boiler could be beneficial when renovating a property due to freeing up kitchen or utility space, upgrading old pipework, or preparing for a future heating system such as a heat pump or hybrid system.
