Pegler Yorkshire have announced the arrival of the i-Temp, a electronic programmable radiator valve that could save up to 30% on your heating bills by controlling the individual temperatures of each room electronically for different times of the day, often without any major changes to your heating system. The Valves replace the “head” of the standard TRV or Thermostatic Radiator Valve, without having to drain down the central heating system.

If you have a nagging doubt as to whether your boiler will last the winter without a breakdown, or you just like that feeling of peace of mind, then why not consider taking out boiler insurance cover. Priced from about 2 5p per day you could have just one less thing to worry about. There are terms and conditions, like your boiler being less than 15 years old (and if it isnt – perhaps you should consider replacing it!) and that you make arrangements to have it annually serviced, and of course there is a small excess if you do make a claim.
To find out more, contact our office on 01423 546 641 and we will send you out full written details.
