Keeping your home warm shouldn't cost a fortune. At Go2 Plumbing & Heating, we help homeowners across Manchester, Wigan, Liverpool, Preston, and Southport get more from their boilers — spending less while staying comfortable all year round.
1. Upgrade to an Energy-Efficient Boiler
If your boiler is over 10 years old, it's likely wasting significant energy. A new A-rated model provides the same heat using less fuel — reducing both your bills and your carbon footprint. The upfront investment often pays for itself within a few years.
2. Book an Annual Service
A well-maintained boiler runs at peak efficiency. Our annual service identifies hidden issues before they become expensive, improves fuel efficiency, and keeps your warranty valid. Book before the cold weather hits for peace of mind all winter.
3. Install a Smart Thermostat
A programmable or smart thermostat stops you heating an empty home. Set schedules, control it remotely, and only use energy when you need it. Paired with a modern boiler, a smart thermostat can cut heating costs by up to 30%.
4. Bleed Your Radiators
Cold spots at the top of radiators mean trapped air is stopping hot water circulating properly. Bleeding them is a simple, free fix that makes your home feel warmer without using any extra energy.
5. Check Boiler Pressure Regularly
Low pressure forces your boiler to work harder than it should. Keep the gauge between 1 and 2 bar. If it drops frequently, there may be a leak — call a Gas Safe engineer rather than keep topping it up.
6. Insulate Pipes & Replace Faulty Parts
Lagging exposed pipes in cold areas like lofts prevents heat loss before it reaches your radiators. And if components like the pump, thermostat, or heat exchanger are worn, replacing them promptly stops your boiler working harder than it needs to.
