If your home is large enough, you might consider as wood or wood pellet boiler, as it’s a renewable low carbon energy source. Open fires are high in atmosphere, but a wood stove can make much better use of fuel. Firewood is a more sustainable resource than peat briquettes or coal, and there’s other fuel briquettes made in
Upgrading to a smarter thermostat that responds to the outside temperature, and adding thermostatic valves to your radiators can also reduce your energy consumption.
