you know it is possible to have an energy-efficient heating system even if you are not on mains gas?

Whether you have found your dream home in the heart of the country or are simply just outside the main grid of a town, you may believe you are stuck with high fuel bills as part of the location.

However, it is still possible to become more energy-efficient and cost–effective (and even get some of your energy for free) by considering upgrading your boiler or even considering the latest renewable technologies.

It may often be a case of ‘out of sight, out of mind’ but as with inefficient gas-fired boilers over 15 years old, an aging oil-fired boiler or even an LPG boiler could easily be one of the biggest causes of high fuel bills.

Using only 60-70” class=”editor of energy put in it could be wasting around 30 - 40p of every £1 of oil used - which soon adds up.

Martyn Bridges, director of marketing and technical support for Worcester, Bosch Group comments:

“Upgrading to a high-efficiency condensing boiler such as Worcester’s Greenstar Heatslave or Camray ranges of SEDBUK ‘A’ rated oil-fired boilers, could see heating and hot water bills cut by between 5 – 10%, as they convert over 90% of oil used into heat.

“Helping you save money on your fuel bills and, as a bonus, lower your carbon footprint in the process.

“Also, if you have found your dream kitchen but think the space could be better used with the boiler taken out of the equation, both of Worcester’s Greenstar oil-fired ranges have external models which allow you to free-up wall or floor space inside, without losing any efficiency.“

Renewable energy sources are not out of bounds either. Solar water heating systems and air or ground source heat pumps can all be retro-fitted to your home, providing eco-friendly heat and hot water all year round.

At Lewingtons we can provide you with advice and quotation to see how you can save money by upgrading your boiler.

Just to say what a first class job this was by Lewingtons. The chaps who carried out the instalation of our hot water tank were splendid!

We were delighted and will certainly recomment Lewintons to our friends.

Thank You

Due to our rural location in Market Harborough we have launched our Oil fired division to offer you with a full install, service and repair service to run along side with our already established gas and renewable energy sides.

We can provide you with a quotation to upgrade your current oil fired boiler or a complete heating instalation of any size. 

We can also offer a annual sevice contract for your oil fired boiler and a emergency breakdown service with a high 1st call fix rate due to the large stock of parts we carry.

To book a quotation, service or breakdown engineer Contact us.

Unfortunatly the Boiler Scrappage Scheme has now finnished. All 125,000 grants have been applied for.

 However there are still grants available for over 60’s or customers who are looking to change from electric or solid fuel heating to gas or oil fired boilers.

Contact us for more information on these schemes.

This week the government has announced the launch of ‘The Boiler Scrappage scheme’ starting early next year.  Full details are not yet known, but should be soon.

The new scrappage scheme, which will be similar to the successful car scrappage scheme,  offers up to 125,000 homeowners across the UK a £400 incentive to replace their old Band ‘G’ gas boilers with a new energy effiecient ‘A’ rated condensing boiler on a first come first served basis. This provides the opportunity for homeowners to benefit from lower energy bills as well as having an impact on the environment. The boilers that will qualify for the scheme will typically be boilers over 20 years old, floor standing and connected to gravity hot water systems.

At Lewington’s we are committed to reducing carbon emmissions, improving energy efficiency within the home and lowering customers fuel bills. In 2009 alone we have installed over 100 energy efficient boilers and also were awarded the ‘Worcester Bosch 2020 environment award’.

It is estimated that there are currently 4.5 million Band ‘G’ gas boilers in use in the UK that are typically only around 60% efficient. To find out if your boiler is one of these and so meets the requirements needed to qualify for the scheme, please contact us with your boiler make and model. As this is a new scheme the government are still to release details of it, such as start dates and how to apply, so keep checking our website for further information.

We would particularly like to mention that we were very pleased with the professional manner in which “Kieth” conducted himself and did his work, and then cleaned up afterwards.
We would not hesitate to reccommend your company to anyone.
Thank You
Mr Allen

As Accredited Worcester Bosch installers we have been asked to carry out all our own warentey work  on their boilers we install.

To assist us with this we have been given a wide range of parts for all their gas and oil boilers and solar hot water systems to avoid long delivery times.

So in the unlikly case you have a problem with a boiler we’ve installed you call Worcester as usual who will then contact us to arrange a visit from one of our expert engineers.

We have just been awarded the Worcester Bosch Envioroment 2020 award for the month of May for the instalation of a energy efficient heating system using ground source heat pump and under floor heating, the system was design and installed by our renewable energy specialist Darren King.

The instalation was judged on type of produts used, efficiency of system, quality of workmanship and customer relations which we scored high in all areas

We will be up against other monthly winners at the end of the year hoping to win the 2009 national 2020 awards for the most enviromently efficient system installed.

For more information on our renewable energy products visit our renewable website.

Come and visit us in Market Harborough town center on Saturday 6th June and Saturday 15th August where you will be able to see a full display of Worcester Bosch boilers and renewable energy products.

Our engineers will be available to answer any questions you may have or to give advice on what product would suit your home.

Whether you are thinking of replacing your boiler or interested in the way you can use renewable energies, come and see how you can benifit from a Worcester Bosch Product.

We recently installed 2 Worcester Oil boilers in a cellar to serve a large house in Gaulby. We removed the existing 30 years old boiler and replaced it with 2 Worcester Bosch Camray 50/70 oil fired condensing boilers. As we only had 1 chinmey we had to get a specialist commercial flue company to design the flue system which we then installed . We then powerflushed the system to ensure the efficient running of the system for years to come.

We also upgraded the hot water system by installing a Heatrae Sadia mains pressured hot water system suitable for future solar connection.
