<< previous page 1 2 next page>> written by Eugene Sabri One of the biggest benefits of underfloor heating is the fact that they operate at much lower temperatures. Compared to your radiators, which concentrate heat across their relatively small surface area. written by Eugene Sabri Combi boilers can be a great space-saving solution for smaller homes. With a combi boiler, a balanced flue, some pipes, and a few radiators, you have all the necessary components of a fully-fledged central heating system. written by Eugene Sabri It is a well known fact that purchasing a high quality, fuel efficient boiler will save you a packet in the long run. However, getting good boiler controls can also make a dramatic difference to the performance and the fuel efficiency of your central heating system. written by Eugene Sabri There are four main types of boiler currently available – the open vented boiler, the system boiler, the combi boiler and the back boiler. written by Eugene Sabri Put simply, underfloor heating provides warmth to a room by heating the floor and having that warmth travel up, rather than heating the air, which rises to the top of the room before falling as it cools. written by Eugene Sabri Dry, or forced air, central heating systems use a single gas or oil-fired furnace and a network of ducts through which the heated air travels throughout the building written by Eugene Sabri Due to the increasing scarcity of natural resources such as gas, oil, and coal, the cost of heating the average family home has skyrocketed in recent years. written by Eugene Sabri If you have a gas boiler and/or central heating system, then it is a good idea to take out an insurance policy on your central heating boiler, so that the cost of any expensive emergency repairs do not have to come out of your own pocket. written by Eugene Sabri The main difference between newer boilers and older types lies in their energy efficiency. The majority of modern boilers are of the highly efficient ‘condensing’ variety written by Eugene Sabri In the past, boilers needed to be operated manually but recent developments in digital technology have meant that nearly all of these old manual controls can be automated written by Eugene Sabri We're all concerned about the effect our energy usage is having on the earth and its atmosphere. But the good news is that there are plenty of things that you can do cut your energy usage around the home written by Eugene Sabri Any utilities company with both a gas and an electricity supply license is in a position to offer its customers dual fuel deals whereby they provide both your domestic electric and gas supply. written by Eugene Sabri Changing to a green energy policy means that your electricity is coming from a renewable source. These new green policies will cost you more, but if enough people choose to switch to these policies written by Eugene Sabri Green electricity is electricity produced from sources which do not negatively impact upon the earth and its climate. written by Eugene Sabri If you are looking for a plumber or engineer to carry out any sort of gas related work, the best place to look is on the government's new Gas Safe website. written by Eugene Sabri If you're looking for ways to save on your gas bill - and aren't we all! - then you've come to the right place. written by Eugene Sabri Now that the earth’s once seemingly limitless supply of fossil fuels such as natural gas and crude oil is becoming increasingly limited, it has become imperative that everybody takes steps to reduce their energy use. written by Eugene Sabri Have you ever wondered where electricity comes from? And how we came to use it as an energy source? For centuries humans have marvelled at electricity and its mysterious ways, with inventors, engineers and physicists battling to be the first to harness its energy. written by Eugene Sabri While you might hear a lot about renewable energy sources such as solar power and wind farms, over two thirds of our energy supplies still come from our non-renewable, polluting, and rapidly dwindling supply of fossil fuels such as gas and crude oil written by Eugene Sabri The UK now has a new gas safety body to replace the old CORGI register. The Gas Safe Register is really a form of quality control for the whole of the UK's gas industry. written by Eugene Sabri Winter fuel bills seemed to go through the roof last year, and with the current financial situation and oil price, costs don't look like they'll be dropping drastically any time soon. written by Eugene Sabri By far the most popular type of outdoor grill in the UK is the type that uses charcoal,although propane and natural gas based barbeques are becoming more and more popular. written by Eugene Sabri Did you know that the smell you so naturally associate with gas is not the smell of gas at all? In fact this pungent odour is added to the natural gas we use during the processing of natural gas for our homes. written by Eugene Sabri Carbon Monoxide can cause death and serious health problems such as brain damage, depending on the level of exposure. written by Eugene Sabri Your gas appliances should be checked and serviced at least once a year by a qualified engineer. written by Eugene Sabri The majority of serious cooks have a marked preference for gas cookers over electric ones. written by Tal Potishman Biomass boilers are a carbon neutral way of generating heat. By burning wood chips or wood pallets the heat comes from organic sources, thus not adding to carbon emissions or to global warming. written by Justin March You want to provide hot water for your staff but don’t know where to start… With this article we hope to demystify the provision of Hot or Boiling water in the office environment. written by Alex Perry By taking just a few measures, you can make big cuts in your home’s energy consumption, and your heating and electricity bills. Plus by doing this you will be helping to cut your home’s contribution to global warming, by helping to cut the amount of fossil fuel that is burnt. This article tells you the main things that you should focus on. written by Claire Hamill The derelict 18th century historic 235 year old
country house in the heart of rural Warwickshire
called The Menagerie, was built as a private zoo

Holland, who was best known for his work on the
Marine Pavilion at Brighton, Sussex which was
designed for the Prince Regent, the Theatre Royal,
Drury Lane, and the Royal Opera House. It is
said that he was influenced in this design by the
Menagerie at the Palace of Versailles. << previous page 1 2 next page>> |
