Radiator and radiator valves
Energy-efficient radiators can heat up your home faster. They come in a range of designs, from traditional to ultra-modern – and help you improve the look of your home.
Central heating programmer
Intelligent controls can adjust the time your heating comes on to suit the outside temperature. You can also set room temperature much more evenly and accurately, so your boiler only fires up when it needs to. This increases comfort and reduces your bills by using less fuel.

Hot water cylinder
Unvented twin-coil hot water cylinders can heat up your water twice as fast; they also use less energy and provide greater water pressure. The cylinders are also ‘future-proof’, should you upgrade your system later with new technology such as solar roof panels.

Solar panels
These are now available nationally. They let natural sunlight produce around 50-70% of your hot water for free*.
Showers
Fitting a shower could mean you use less water than a bath, which saves energy on heating the water. That way you save money and help the environment.
Cavity Wall Insulation
This keeps around 33% more heat inside you home, saving around £90† a year on your fuel bills. What's more, it even helps keep your home cooler during the hot summer months.
Towel Warmers
Towel warmers contain less water than a radiator, heat up quicker and add a contemporary look to your bathroom.
