REDUCING YOUR COSTS AND YOUR CARBON FOOTPRINT WITH VSB PLUMBING SERVICES.

GAS & ELECTRICITY PRICES RISE

With gas and electricity prices getting even more expensive it might pay to have your gas appliance inspected and serviced. By having your gas appliance serviced you would be doing your bit for the environment and at the same time maybe save on gas and electricity bills.

1. Having your GAS APPLIANCE SERVICED might help a bit. A gas appliance that has been inspected and serviced on a regular basis will work more efficiently.        
2. Inspection of a gas installation and gas appliances can pick up gas leaks which will have cost you £££££ over a period of time especially with gas prices increasing.        
3. According to the Government funded Energy Saving Trust the average British household produces six tonnes of CO2 and spends nearly £900 on electricity and fuel every year.
4. Replacing an ageing conventional boiler with a condensing boiler could immediately save your household 30% or more, a figure which can increase to 40% when combined with upgraded heating controls.
5. Older type boilers tend to waste a lot of valuable energy, with many converting as little as 60% of your expensive gas into useful heat. By comparison a condensing boiler can increase efficiency to produce a conversion rate of up to 97%.
6. Even replacing a 15 year old boiler with a new high-efficiency, fan assisted equivalent will save up to 20% on fuel costs.

Since 2005 most new gas boilers installed in England  must, by law, be of the high efficiency condensing type. And not only will a condensing boiler save you money on heating bills, but it will significantly reduce your carbon footprint.
