The new Oxyvent tank can save up to 30% on a homes energy bills by reducing boiler temperatures from 75-80 degrees to 60 degrees (65 degrees when also heating water) but makes a home's radiators feel much warmer at the same time.
Although the summer is here, the pinch of high heating bills after one of the coldest winters on record is all too familiar, even for homes who have already installed existing carbon reduction measures such as insulation, double glazing and thermostatic radiator valves.
To make more energy and money savings, measures such as air source heat pumps and solid wall insulation are prohibitively expensive for most pockets. However, the Oxyvent tank has a realistic price tag so homeowners who plan ahead and install one now, will reap the benefits when they turn their heating back on this autumn.
How does it work?
Paul Worswick, Oxyvent Director says: "Everyone's warming up now summer is here and doesn't want to think about their central heating. But by investing a little now, they'll be in a much stronger position, particularly with rising energy prices when the cold weather comes again.
With OFGEM predicting domestic fuel bills to double by 2020 to around £2,400 on average, finding ways to reduce your fuel usage is going to become ever more important.
With 57% of domestic homes energy used for space heating and 25% for heating water (source: DECC energy trends 2009), acting on central heating is one of the best ways homeowners can make their energy use more efficient and their bills lower.
