How to Reduce Your Heating Bills This Winter

Simple, practical tips to lower your heating costs without sacrificing comfort - from thermostat settings to draught-proofing.

How to Reduce Your Heating Bills This Winter

Lower Your Thermostat by 1 Degree

Turning your room thermostat down by just one degree can save around 10% on your heating bill. Most people find a temperature between 18°C and 21°C completely comfortable.

Bleed Your Radiators

If your radiators are cold at the top and hot at the bottom, they have trapped air inside. This prevents the hot water from circulating effectively, meaning your boiler works harder to heat the room. Bleeding your radiators is a quick, easy DIY job.

Don't Heat Empty Rooms

Use Thermostatic Radiator Valves (TRVs) to turn down the heating in rooms you don't use often, like spare bedrooms. There's no point paying to heat empty space.

Service Your Boiler

An annual boiler service ensures your system is running safely and as efficiently as possible. A well-maintained boiler uses less fuel and is less likely to break down when you need it most.
