Central Heating Controls

Central Heating Controls

We all want to keep warm this time of year, and central heating does this for you. But did you know that over two thirds of all UK homes don't have central heating controls? This means two thirds of UK house holds are missing out on saving running costs and are not getting the best out of their central heating. 

Firstly, the timer/programmer: this will allow you to tell your boiler when to run and for how long. Having the boiler on constantly does not save energy at all even though some people think it does. All the time it is running it is using energy, so even when you're at work and the building is empty its using all that unnecessary energy and costing you more at the same time.

What we would recommend is a 7 day timer as this would allow you set a schedule for your boiler to run based around your daily lifestyle. That means that the boiler is off when your not in the building and on when you are and you actually need it.  

Next you should have a room thermostat. What this does is detect the temperature of the building and it is above the temperature you've set it at then it will shut the boiler off.

So in conclusion having both a timer/programmer and a room thermostat could save you a large amount on your heating bills.

At the Plumbers Mate we have a range of timers and room thermostats, you can find them here

                                 Liff Water Filters
Your water may look clean enough to drink but there could be thousands of impurities.


Liff water filters are designed to keep your water safe for you and your family by removing things like : 
  • Bad taste & Chlorine.
  • Scale
  • Scum 
  • Lead
  • Heavy metal 
  • Organic chemical
Water filters do this by trapping any contaminants in the filter. 

Most filters these days are activated charcoal. 

A charcoal water filter works by absorbing large amounts of gases, including most poisonous ones, which stick to the charcoal, while the pure water passes through to come out of the tap. 
As charcoal has such a large surface area, it can absorb a lot of impurities in the water.
All Charcoal Liff Water Filters can be found here.

Another type of filter is a reverse osmosis filter. 
This is the process of water passing through an ultra-fine semi-permeable membrane, where all the impurities are caught and diverted down the drain while the pure water passes through to a storage tank for later use.


If you have a charcoal filter then it is always highly recommended that you replace the filter cartridge at least every 6 months.
At the Plumbers Mate we offer a range of replacement water filters and cartridges.
