Energy Saving Technologies
WEATHER COMPENSATION
Weather compensation is regularly installed in Northern Europe to enhance comfort and fuel efficiency. This technology varies the heat output of the boiler according to the out door temperature, thus ensuring that the boiler doesn't use too much gas. Comfort is enhanced as the rooms do not have to cool down to turn on the boiler for more heat, which is how a room thermostat works. Energy is saved by ensuring that maximum boiler out put is hardly ever used. Although all boilers in the UK can accept weather compensations only Viessmann and Vaillant offer this option in the UK.

SYSTEM DESIGN
Cental heating is conceptualy easy to understand but there are many pitfalls that the inexperienced may not be aware of. Pleasing Plumbing has the knowledge, experience and resources to design a system which will consume the minimum of energy
SOLAR ENERGY
 This can be used to reduce the load on conventional systems reducing energy consumption throughout spring summer and autumn when solar radiation is high. Correctly sized and installed solar systems will provide free hot water in the summer months with no problem of overheating.
UNDERFLOOR HEATING
Correctly installed underfloor heating can be very economical to run as the water temperature doesnt have to be much higher than the air temperature. However there are pitfalls when using condensing technology
