Check your radiators are heating to the top. If they aren’t, the chances are you need to learn how to bleed a radiator. It sounds a bit medieval, but all it means is releasing the trapped air at the top, which is stopping the hot water from rising. Simply use a radiator bleed key (about £1 in any DIY shop) to open the little valve at the top. You’ll hear air hiss and as soon as you see a drip of water, close it up again. Bingo. Energy-efficient radiators.

Get a new boiler: Modern boilers are more efficient than older models. If your boiler is more than 10 years old it will be far less efficient than a newer model, consider replacing it with a more efficient condensing boiler. Costs and savings vary depending on your current boiler’s efficiency, fuel type and your house type but fuel bill savings can be significant.

Many homeowners and landlords in the harrow area and beyond are tempted to attempt DIY on their new bathroom installation. It’s a tempting thought – you save money on labour charges and it’s a project you can get stuck into. However, ask any professional bathroom installations company and they will tell you that, while most DIY-ers with limited skills can actually replace their own bathrooms, the end result lacks the precision, skill, and aesthetic excellence that it would have if done by a time-served craftsman. Many others think about becoming a project manager, allocating different work at different stages to a plumber, a plasterer, a tiler, an electrician, a decorator, and a unit installer. It might sound cheaper but that’s multiple tradesmen’s profit margins you’ll be paying together with the headache of getting the right people in at the right time. Based in Harrow and serving the community across North London, the Peter Brown bathroom installation team is almost certain to be the quicker, cheaper option with a guarantee of a beautiful new bathroom under guarantee at the end.

Watch out for mini-draughts. “Lots of draught comes through the letterbox,” says Potter. It’s worthwhile putting an extra barrier there in the form of a “brush”. They may be a nightmare for junk-mailers trying to force through that 15th pizza takeaway offer, but they could prevent a chill breezing through the house. The same goes for keyholes, which can be protected with “simple circular (keyhole covers) that slip over the top”, says Potter, especially with the older, wider keyholes. Cat or dog flaps can also be filled with some sheep’s wool insulation or pieces of blanket. “It’s amazing how even a small draught can make a room a lot colder, so if you can cut that bit of air out it immediately makes a difference,” says Potter.

Vaillant are up with there with the best. Most recently, their EcoTec range has become their most popular product line. They don’t have behind their company the branding that Worcester does, but the support network is there. They offer great warranties and a service team to help with problems, for boilers that are under warranty. Generally, their products have a 2, 3 or 5 year warranty attached to them. Expect Vaillant boilers to be in a similar price bracket to Worcester Bosch, Ideal Boilers and Baxi’s equivalent products. Read more information on this website.
