The Energy Savings Trust is recommending that the cost of heating home should be much clearer when a property goes on the market reported in The Times, April 16th. This would mean potential buyers could identify homes that are very expensive to heat much more easily, leading to energy efficiency becoming part of the negotiation between a property buyer and seller.
The introduction of the Governments Green Deal in 2012 will see new legislation and regulation in place to help the UK cut its carbon emissions but what measures can homeowners take to become more energy efficient and reduce the cost of their heating bills now? Beyond cavity and loft insulation and draught proofing, there was little on the market that didn’t cost thousands until Oxyvent was launched.
Not only does Oxyvent radically improve a homes central heating and radiator performance, but once installed a boiler must be set at 60 or 65 degrees – a much lower setting than most homes currently operate at. This can save a home up to 30% on their heating bills.
With a realistic price tag, for homes that are already thinking about how their expensive heating bills may affect the market price of their home, the Oxyvent tank is a must.

Like many households in the UK, the West family spent their winter evenings in big socks and jumpers surrounded by electric heaters. Why? Their central heating system simply wasn’t up to the job of warming up the house no matter how high the boiler and thermostat temperatures were set at.
Not only did it mean their house was cold but it saw their energy bills soar as they were spending more on gas to fuel their boiler at a higher temperature as well as covering costly electric bills as a result of the electric heaters. So when they heard about Oxyvent, it was the perfect solution.
Since they installed the Oxyvent in February a warmer house means the big jumpers and socks are a thing of the past. The boiler temperature has dropped from 75 degrees to 65 degrees reducing their fuel bills but most importantly the electric heaters have been banished, dropping their electric bills at the same time.
Mr West said: “We’ve spent a lot of money on plumbers who’ve tried to fix the central heating but it’s the Oxyvent that’s finally given us a warm house. You could feel the difference as soon as we had it installed. If I’d have known about Oxyvent sooner, I’d have saved so much money on maintenance and our energy bills. I’d recommend it to anyone who has had ongoing problems with poor central heating.”

Cambridgeshire homeowners set to save money and the environment at the same time
As households across Cambridge receive their heating bills after one of the coldest winters on record, Cambridge Discount Heating & Plumbing will be the first in the UK to offer an innovative new product that can reduce heating bills by up to 30%.
From February, the Cambridge plumber’s merchant in Cambridge will be stocking the Oxyvent System, a new technology that makes central heating perform much better at a lower boiler temperature. This means homeowners can feel warmer and save money at the same time. As it cuts household energy usage, they can also do their bit for the environment.
The local, family run company, prides itself on offering its customers new innovations that save money or are better for the environment without compromising on quality, so stocking the Oxyvent System was a natural fit for them.
Charlie Surbey, Managing Director, said: “With energy bills rising and a growing market for environmentally friendly ways to run households, we’re always researching new products that can solve these problems.
“The Oxyvent System tackles both of these problems and we’re very proud to be the first in the UK to offer this new innovation to households in Cambridgeshire.”
In fact Charlie has been so impressed with Oxyvent that he not only decided it was a must for his customers, but also for his Cambridgeshire home which he shares with his wife, Lucy, and baby son.
Charlie said: “Like many homes in Cambridgeshire, we have an oil fuelled central heating system. After such a cold winter and rising oil prices, we spent a fortune on fuel for our central heating and knew the Oxyvent System would help us reduce our bills.
Following a system fit by Cambridge Discount Installations, he said: “Since we installed the Oxyvent system, we’ve noticed the house heats up faster and is much warmer without turning the heating up. Before, we had cold areas in the house where some radiators didn’t work properly but now the house is evenly heated in every room.”
The Oxyvent system was invented by Tim Cremin, a plumber, in Ireland where the Oxyvent System has been installed in thousands of homes and has gone form success to success prior to its launch in the UK at the start of 2011.
Paul Worswick, Oxyvent Director, says: “It’s always been our aim to build relationships with companies and plumbers who want innovative products so they can offer their customers the best. We look forward to working with Cambridge Discount Heating & Plumbing to help people across the county bring down their central heating bills.
