Heating is a basic necessity, but unfortunately rising gas prices have increased the price of heating our homes.
Don't bust your budget on the heating bill this winter. Take a look at some tips on how to save money on heating.
How to save money on heating
Over the past five years, gas bills and electricity bills have risen over 51%.
If you're wondering how to save money on heating while keeping warm, look for suppliers who could offer lower rates. If you change your supplier you could save up to £100 a year.
Consider an upgrade to your heating and hot water system. A new, high-efficiency boiler with heating controls could save you up to £200 per year. New heating controls and valves keep your home at a comfortable temperature and let you switch off the heat when you don't need it.
You can even cut your bill by 10 per cent just by reducing your home temperature by 1°C. Keep your curtains closed and insulate your home to stop warm air from escaping, and keep furniture away from radiators.
From there, fixing leaking hot water taps and boiling only as much water as you need will help you save money on heating.
