A few tips on how to save on your energy bills this winter if you have a combi boiler. #howto #saveenergy #savingenergy #savings #energy #energysaving

PLEASE NOTE: These tips are for combi boilers only. If you have a hot water tank, you must keep your hot water temperature between 60 and 70 degrees Celsius to prevent bacteria build up in the cylinder.

As every home is different there isn't really a 'one size fits all' when adjusting flow temperature. The size and type of your property and radiators, the amount of insulation in your home, the condition of your windows along with several other factors can alter the efficiency of your home and its ability to retain heat. It will therefore require a bit of trial and error to see what works best for you.

The logic behind reducing flow temperature is it allows your combi boiler to operate in condensing mode more often which increases efficiency and saves on energy as heat can be recycled back into the system. If this doesn't work as expected in your home then raise the flow rate back up again until you find the right balance.

If you’re vulnerable or have any health concerns then it is not advised that you change your boiler settings as it is more important to stay warm. If in doubt, always seek professional advice.
