Resideo has launched a new campaign to highlight the practical recommendations installers can make to help mitigate rising energy bills now and into the future.
The campaign uses the tagline, ‘Every crisis needs a hero – installers, this is your time’. Throughout the campaign, Resideo is set to support installers in their recommendations to customers, who are looking to make a change to get the very best out of their heating, with advice on using existing heating controls more effectively and the difference small upgrades can make.
For example, swapping an old mechanical thermostat for a load compensating thermostat can help your customer save up to £181 annually. A further £327 per year could also be saved, by upgrading a customer’s manual radiator valves to thermostatic radiator valves, the company said.
Resideo’s survey of 1,000 UK homeowners highlighted that more people in the UK are actively looking for ways to reduce their energy bills through heating controls such as thermostats. In fact, 43% of those surveyed said they would be willing to spend money on the latest heating controls if it meant they could save money in the long term.
Martin Wilson, at Resideo, said: “This year’s heating season feels like it will be busier than ever due to a mix of those wanting to get the most out of their existing boiler plus those wanting to replace and update.
“Price hikes are making people think carefully about energy, and installers at the coalface are well placed to offer advice. This winter, installers will go about their business in the same way they have always done. And yet this year, because of the crisis we find ourselves in, they will be our heroes in our hour of need; working to mitigate some of the impact of the energy crisis.”
