He’s a name familiar to thousands in the UK, and he doesn’t show any sign of losing the nation’s interest any time soon. Martin Lewis is revered as the Money Saving Expert, and if you haven’t heard of him then it might be worth checking what he has to say. For a start if you’re a central heating owner, he might be able to save you money and provide you with some great tips for reducing those bills. Once you have done a bit of research online, you can soon become your own money saving expert and know the best ways to free up some cash. Here’s how to save money…and energy!

Use comparison sites – now here’s a great way to save the pennies, and don’t be afraid to give it a go. In order to make life easier, check out some price comparison sites and see what information they return to you. In other cases, for those who haven’t got central heating installed yet, you can use the phone to ring people and get some central heating quotes in. Don’t fall into the trap of getting one quote and accepting it immediately. How can you tell if it’s a good deal?

Buy a new boiler – did you know that a new boiler could save you lots of money? Once you get the initial costs out the way, which include installation and the cost of the appliance itself, you should find that bills come down. A new boiler heats up much more quickly and the house will get warmer, meaning you don’t need to have the central heating turned on as long.

Get a boiler repaired – not everyone can afford to splash out on a new boiler, so getting the boiler repaired may be the better solution for you. For those that don’t know if their boiler is working right, it is recommended that you book a boiler service and get an engineer round to fine tune everything. Trust what the engineer says and if your boiler needs repairing then ask him to show you what has failed on it. A boiler repair is going to be much cheaper than having a new boiler fitted, but the long term heating costs might not be so pleasing to the bank balance.

With the information included here, you will be well on your way to becoming your own money saving expert. When it comes to energy saving, and central heating in particular, any money saving tips can prove invaluable.
