Some tips that could help you reduce energy bills
- Boiler servicing – A boiler service can pay for itself by boosting your system’s efficiency and reducing the chance of a breakdown.
- Turning down the room thermostat – Many of us have got used to living in overheated homes but turning down the temperature by just one degree could save £55 a year, depending on the size of the home, according to the Energy Savings Trust (EST).
- Leaving radiators free of obstructions – Make sure curtains or furniture aren’t blocking your radiators, as this prevents them projecting heat into the room.
- Change your heating regime – It is more efficient to warm your house by having the thermostat on a low temperature over a longer period of time rather than having bursts of high temperatures
- Turn off radiators that you do not use – Turn off radiators in spare rooms and block against draughts coming from that room
