Ultimate Guide: 6 Ways to Cut Costs This Winter

As temperatures drop across the Midlands, keeping your home warm without spending a fortune can be a challenge. Whether you’re in Nuneaton, Coventry, Birmingham, Leicester, or Nottingham, there are simple and effective ways to lower your energy bills and stay cosy this winter.

Here are 6 proven tips from the experts at Pillings & Co Ltd - your trusted local plumbing, heating, insulation and electrical specialists.

1. Service Your Boiler🔧

A well-maintained boiler runs more efficiently and is less likely to break down when you need it most. Booking your annual boiler service ensures your heating system is safe, efficient, and ready for winter.

👉 Book your annual boiler service with Pillings & Co Ltd from just £75 and keep your energy bills under control.

2. Seal Drafts Around Your Home🪟

Cold air sneaking in? Even small gaps around doors, windows, and floors can make a big difference to your comfort and energy bills. Use draft excluders, sealant strips, and foam fillers to keep the heat in and the cold out. An easy DIY fix that saves money fast.

3. Use Heating Controls Wisely🌡️

Installing or adjusting smart thermostats and heating timers helps regulate your home’s temperature more efficiently. Setting your thermostat just 1°C lower can cut your heating bill by around 10%, without compromising comfort.

4. Insulate Your Home🏠

Proper loft and wall insulation is one of the best long-term ways to reduce heat loss. Up to 25% of heat can escape through an uninsulated roof!

Pillings & Co are specialists in loft insulation, internal wall insulation, and external wall insulation, helping homes across the Midlands stay warmer for less.

💡 You may even qualify for FREE insulation upgrades through the government-backed ECO4 scheme, check your eligibility today or contact us.

5. Bleed Your Radiators🔧

Uneven heating or cold spots? Your radiators might have trapped air preventing them from warming properly. Bleeding your radiators is a quick, simple task that improves heating efficiency and keeps your system working smoothly.

6. Upgrade Your Boiler🔥

If your boiler is over 10 years old, it may be time for an upgrade. Modern boilers are far more energy-efficient and could save you hundreds of pounds each year on energy costs.

Pillings & Co Ltd offers expert boiler installations throughout the Midlands, ensuring top-quality workmanship at fair prices.
