Weather Compensation, OpenTherm & Powerflushing - Save money

Weather Compensation, OpenTherm and Powerflushing - Three ways to save money 

Energy bills are crazy at the moment, so here are 3 things I’d do to save money long‑term if I was fitting my own boiler — and you can do them too.

🏠 The average UK 3‑bed household gas bill: ~£840/year

1️⃣ Powerflush — cleans out sludge so your radiators actually heat properly.

💷 Saves £70–£105/year

⏳ Payback: 5–7 years

2️⃣ OpenTherm controls — stops your boiler blasting on/off all day.

💷 Saves £70–£85/year

⏳ Payback: 3–4 years

3️⃣ Weather compensation — outdoor sensor that adjusts boiler temperature automatically.

💷 Saves £85–£105/year

⏳ Payback: 3–4 years

Do all three and you’re looking at £225–£295/year saved — around 32–42% off your heating bill.

Many thanks,

Patrick
