What Is Central Heating?

Category:Boilers Tags : 

Central heating – this is the most common form of heating in the UK! A boiler heats up water that is pumped through pipes to radiators throughout the house as well as providing hot water to the kitchen and bathroom taps.

Most boilers run on mains gas, but in areas where mains gas is not available, the boiler can run on oil. Mains gas is usually the cheapest, and it has the lowest carbon dioxide emissions. Some boilers also have an electric immersion heater as a back-up.

  • Switch to a cheaper energy tariff
  • Make any insulation and draught-proofing improvements that you can.

It’s important to understand your current heating configuration. Nearly all homes in the UK have either a central heating system – a boiler and radiators – or they use electric storage heaters.
