Savings from central heating management help get green vote

The new coalition government is almost literally banking on the green vote as part of initiatives announced in the Queen's speech. As well as promising a new energy bill in the next parliament, the Conservative and Liberal alliance said it would set up a green investment bank so that householders will be entitled to borrow money to pay for carbon-reducing measures. The idea is called a "pay-as-you-save" approach. Households would repay the loan using money saved through lower energy bills.

The news is promising for systems like HeatingSave, where there are already benefits through installing a central heating management set-up. HeatingSave's internal microprocessor constantly calculates and improves the efficiency and savings of your central heating system. Traditional time clocks set the heating to come on at a particular time. Most are a 24 hour clock and cannot vary the times throughout the week, wasting fuel.

Just choose when and what room temperature and hot water you want, and HeatingSave does the rest. You can change a room temperature requirement more than 1,000 times a day, giving you 100% control of the heating you require. For a House and Home system you only pay VAT at a rate of 5 per cent. Add this to the savings of a quarter which are easily achievable from your central heating bill via HeatingSave, and that is two big reasons to slash money from your fuel bills. HeatingSave is already recommended by government organisations such as DEFRA.
