An Electro Mechanical Timer for your boiler could be the answer, as it allows you to pre-programme the times of day your central heating system comes on and switches off. This allows you to create a daily routine with a comfortable temperature at home when you need it.
The large dial makes it very easy to use as well. As well as setting your heating to be permanently on if you’re at home all day, or permanently off if you’re out of the house, you can also use an Electromechanical Boiler Timer to improve the performance of your heating system, setting it at 15 minute intervals.
The system works with all combi-boilers and means there is always hot water for a bath right when you need it.

Another option that is available to you is a control that fits next to the flue, and can recycle heat that would normally be wasted from the flue gases.
This innovation can really help to make your home greener and use energy better.
The energy that is recovered by the device is then used to pre-heat the boiler, meaning that less gas is used overall to heat your water.
In fact, testing has demonstrated that up 37% of the energy required to create hot water can be saved along with 7% of the volume of water you use – because the hot water you need for baths, showers, or washing up can be delivered much more quickly. This means lower carbon emissions and lower energy bills, while not compromising on comfort and convenience.
