Adam’s expert advice in the media

Replacing an old boiler with a modern A-rated one could cut your annual energy bill by over £500, without altering your heating or hot water usage. The Mirror

If your boiler’s over eight years old, chances are it’s not running at full efficiency. Most people don’t realise how much their boiler is quietly costing them. Manchester Evening News

As our summers get hotter and more unpredictable due to climate change, fitted AC is increasingly considered a smart, long-term investment in comfort and wellbeing. Ideal Home

Set the thermostat to a realistic target, about 18-20°C for most homes during the day, with a small adjustment for nighttime, usually around 16-17°C, rather than switching off. Express

Start by checking the boiler pressure; most systems should sit between 1 and 2 bar. If the pressure is too low, the boiler may struggle to deliver hot water. Many boilers can be safely repressurised by following the manufacturer’s guidance, but you should never force any valves or overfill the system. Homebuilding & Renovation

In the UK, gas boilers remain the most common type of boiler, as they are familiar, widely available, and relatively straightforward to install. However, newer low-carbon systems such as heat pumps can offer greater energy efficiency and lower emissions over time, depending on your home. Homebuilding & Renovation

Scale can clog up heat exchangers in boilers, reduce water flow, and make appliances less efficient. In a hard-water area, this can lead to higher energy bills and costly repairs much sooner than you’d expect. By slowing down the scale build-up, you’ll extend the life of your boiler, keep it running more efficiently, and cut down on long-term maintenance costs. Ideal Home

Bleeding radiators and making sure the heating runs properly, even for a short period, helps to pick up problems early and can prevent components from sticking or seizing when the system has been off or running less often. The Mirror

Our latest research found that over a quarter of Brits (28%) spend more than £300 every summer on short-term gimmicks like neck fans, cooling sprays and slushie machines - which might offer momentary relief but don’t actually cool the room you’re in. Fans simply move warm air around, whereas fitted AC offers real, consistent results. Ideal Home

It’s really important to make sure air conditioning units are correctly sized for your space. A smaller output will typically be cheaper to install and could be more cost-effective to run, but if the unit is too small, it won’t be able to cool or heat your space properly. Homebuilding & Renovation

Unlike fans or gadgets that just circulate air, proper AC cools the whole room, not just the space directly in front of you. Think of it like a smart temperature system for your home, all year round. National World
