The obvious main reason to be conserving energy is for environmental purposes with climate change already being seen across the world, the polar ice caps melting and nearer to home, the floods the UK has experienced over the past three years.
Sustainable energy solutions within the home can come from all manner of points. Recycling of household waste, cardboard, plastic, glass and paper (trying not to buy products with so much packaging to start with). Then the changes that can be made to the actual house such as double glazing and cavity wall insulation.
An energy efficient boiler is a must for any household as an old inefficient boiler creates high energy bills which in turn will eat at more of the valuable world energy supplies. A brand of boilers which have high green credential s and are proven money savers is the Worcester Bosch Greenstar range. An energy efficient Worcester Greenstar 28i Junior Combi Boiler for example, can provide a household with all their heating and hot water needs and these boilers are dedicated to providing renewable energy solutions. Many of these boilers have an energy efficiency rating of over 90% and can often cut heating and hot water bills by fifteen to twenty per cent. The combi boilers for example the Worcester Greenstar 24i Junior Combi Boiler delivers energy saving performance by recycling exhaust gases to extract and re-use latent heat.
Other energy saving boilers are condensing gas-fired boilers and condensing oil-fired boilers where at least 93% of the oil consumed is converted into heat for the heating and/or hot water system.
Renewable energy devices are being introduced more frequently now in the form of solar panels and ground heat source pumps. Many of the leading plumbing and heating brands have solar panel products for the heating of hot water. Some packages can reduce an annual water heating bill by up to 60%. Solar cylinders are also available which enables a dual heat source application utilising the solar panels with one coil, and the boiler (or other heat source) with the other coil.
And finally ground source heat pump systems that tap into the natural heat found in the ground just metres below the Earth's surface. A ground source heat pump works by keeping fluid in the evaporator slightly cooler than the source, enabling it to draw latent heat from the earth via heat collectors which are buried in the ground.
