Central Heating Leaflet
How council tenants can make the best use of their central heating.
Central heating keeps people warm in their homes and can help prevent condensation, dampness and mould. Advice for tenants on how to use their central heating system effectively and save energy and money is in the leaflet "Central Heating". It is available from all Area Housing Offices. Or you can download a copy from this page. (Note - the information in this leaflet has not changed since it was last updated in 2004, so the 2004 edition is still correct and up to date)
The leaflet includes advice on using:
- Programmers
- Time clocks
- Hot water thermostats
- Room thermostats
- Radiator valves
It also gives some general hints on:
- The best times to have your heating on
- Use of the settings for different seasons and times of the day
- Troubleshooting before reporting faults
