According to statistics, energy expenditure for housing (heating) accounts for 6% of total consumption expenditure. This is an average and for some it is much more:if the housing energy budget (heating) exceeds 10% of household income, the household is then considered to be in a situation of energy poverty. This is why you should not hesitate to change the equipment as soon as the device becomes greedy in energy.
In recent years, the winter period ends late. In some regions, this season has extended until mid or even the end of May. And according to forecasts, this will still be the case for 2015 and 2016. Long winters are then synonymous with prolonged use of heating appliances and therefore an inevitable increase in gas, electricity or fuel bills. Many households then complain about the inflation of this heating item in their budget.
This is why each of us has the major concern today of reducing our heating costs. Unfortunately, an equipment replacement is, in many cases, the only effective solution to save money. Except if the maintenance has been done properly, namely a check once a year, from the first year of purchase of the device. If this is not the case, you lose nothing by calling on a professional for a complete check of your boiler.
Perhaps a good adjustment will be enough to make the machine efficient again, and above all, less energy-consuming. Veolia Habitat Service is one of the French leaders in the maintenance of a condensing boiler. This service provider will inform you whether it is necessary to change your heating system or not. In addition, this company can also advise you on the type of heating that best meets your requirements, if a replacement is essential.
Already, if your heating has more than fifteen years on the meter, consider equipping your home with a new boiler. Already offering better performance, new generation equipment is less bulky, cleaner and quieter. Fortunately, the choice is very diverse between gas, oil, electric, solar and even wood-burning stoves. Today, during a replacement, people tend to abandon electricity in favor of gas or other energies.
For people relying mainly on clean energy, solar equipment is the most environmentally friendly. In addition, you should know that, in order to improve the energy performance of your home, you can benefit from state aid for the purchase of this equipment. The amount of the subsidy can thus be doubled if the investment is accompanied by thermal insulation work on the walls, roofs and floors.
Moreover, an economical heating system does not go hand in hand with a poorly insulated house or apartment. And of course, to be eligible for the sustainable development tax credit or CIDD, the boiler model chosen must be both efficient and economical. And it is especially the condensing models that meet these conditions. In addition, it should also be noted that only boilers intended for main homes and second homes are affected by this tax credit.
