If you often have the heating on, you may be able to save money on your bill by doing one or more of these 4 things:
(You can find out how to do these things in the videos below.)
1
Set your heating to come on around 30 minutes before you need it.
2
Make sure you turn the heating off when you are not home and during the night.
3
Use the thermostatic radiator valves to switch off radiators in rooms you are not using.
4
If it feels warm enough, turn the heating down by 1 degree.
Important notice: If you can, it is best to keep your home between 18 and 21 degrees. But, if you need to stay warmer because of a medical condition, please only change the temperature of your home/room if it is safe.
