Reviewing
The Heat Use Survey Results
Once you have the initial survey results decide what to do by
following the steps below.
Step 1: |
Identify all the simple zero cost savings |
|
Look for obvious things like turning down the heating
a few degrees, shutting curtains at night, adjust thermostatic
valves on radiators correctly |
Step 2: |
Identify all the areas for large potential savings
with minimum investment |
|
Insulating the loft and pipes is always a good investment,
fit draught excluders where there are draughts ( don't forget
letter boxes and keyholes. Reflective foil behind radiators
on outside walls helps as does a properly balanced central
heating system. |
Step 3: |
Decide what to do about the rest |
|
Is it worth fitting a more modern boiler, having cavity
wall insulation or double glazing installed? |
For an example review have a look at the 2009
Survey Notes and 2008 Survey Notes which are for fifferent houses.
