Winter Energy Saving campaign to encourage people to save money off bills

As the winter draws in, the government is issuing advice to UK households around the simple low-cost actions that can be taken to reduce energy bills by up to £100. Some of the tips include: 

  • Reducing the boiler flow temperature to 60°C. Lowering your combi boiler flow temperature to 60°C makes your boiler run more efficiently and could save you money. 
  • Finding and fixing draughts. Check for gaps around doors, windows, floors and pipes. Look out for light shining through, listen for rattles on windy days, but don’t block essential ventilation like extractor fans. 
  • Turning radiators down, not off. In lesser used rooms, turn the radiator down rather than switching it off completely. This helps avoid damp while saving energy.
