Moving home is always exciting and the beginning of a new chapter in your life, but it can also be stressful with so many important aspects to take care of. One of the most important aspects that needs to be taken care of as soon as possible – yet one which is often confusing – is the central heating, as you will be relying on this from the day that you move in.
Heating the Home
You will want to have the most efficient way to heat the house and also make sure that you are not paying too much, so you will want to get on top of this straight away. Most homes will use a gas boiler that uses power to heat up water along with a pump to move it around – this warm water will then flow through the pipes in the home where it will reach emitters, such as radiators, to distribute the warmth.
Combi-Boilers
While this can be a good way of heating the home, a combo boiler from somewhere like City Plumbing could be a better option as these heat water directly from the mains when a tap is turned on, which means that you do not need a hot water storage cylinder. This is more environmentally-friendly, plus it is a great way to reduce your energy bills each month so it should certainly be looked into.
When Moving In
When you move into the new home, one of the first things that you should do is to contact the current supplier and let them know that you have moved in. You will also need to take meter readings on the day that you move in and give these to the supplier so that you get an accurate first bill. You will automatically be placed onto a deemed contract but this is often one of the more expensive tariffs so it is a good idea to shop around to find a better deal. Switching can take a few weeks so it is smart to start comparing as soon as possible.
Hopefully, this post will help anyone moving to quickly arrange the heating and get settled in their new home. This is one of the most important tasks to take care of but often one which people get confused over, which is why it is helpful to know exactly what needs doing as soon as you move in and so that you can find the best deal.
