How To Control The Heat?

Gas central heating is usually the most expensive household utility in running costs and every householder should examine carefully any way they can to reduce that cost.

Good insulation of the property is the obvious first thing to take care of and where an old gas central heating boiler is in use then the cost of replacing it with a class A new condensing boiler is always justifiable as running costs will be reduced as well as CO2 emissions.

Individual radiator valves set correctly for both room heat and time switching is also crucial to help running costs. There is no point on wasting heat on rooms that are not in use and an over-heated bedroom is unhealthy so these too should be set low and off at night.

For all types of radiators and valves the place to look is Designer Radiators Direct. Private individuals as well as trade can order from a choice of many hundreds of radiators and when it comes to valves there is also a massive choice.

The sub-headings for valves include thermostatic ones, manual, modern and traditional. As if that is not confusing you also have to get the finish which may be chrome, nickel, and brass, copper, white and gold.

Even within that collection there are further breakdowns with nickel being a fine example with a black or brushed finish.

There is also the question of whether you want straight valves, angled, corner, and round, square or cross-head!

This all may seem rather confusing but when you look at the range of styles and finish of the radiators you will want to match the right type of valve.

With modern radiators and valves looking so good it should stand to reason that if you are refurbishing a property and bringing it up to date with contemporary or even traditional decorating then a brand new central heating system with smart radiators should convince you that all the pipework should be hidden to make the most of it all.
