 Modernising the central heating system is an environmentally-friendly and cost-efficient home improvement project, which can also add a number of design benefits.
The Energy Saving Trust recently asserted that a condensing boiler and full set of heating controls can help to attract buyers with the promise of lower utility bills. This also attracts rental investors, who are usually looking to keep the monthly bills down to a minimum.
Contemporary boilers are certainly an attractive option in the UK. A recent government scheme was closed within two months as the 125,000 vouchers on offer from their boiler scrappage scheme were claimed instantly.
The new systems are certainly more efficient, but they can also lead to great design additions, such as designer radiators and contemporary radiators. Many households are also looking to use towel rails as a source of extra comfort in the bathroom and elsewhere.
These are all relatively small improvements that can add a great deal of value to the home.
