Using your heating correctly can help to keep the cost of your bills down this winter.
As Storm Babet batters the country and conditions are set to get chillier, many households will be looking for ways to make their money go further when it comes to heating.
However, if you're under the age of 65 and active, you can take it slightly lower as long as it's still comfortable. According to the Energy Saving Trust, heating and hot water accounts for over half of what you spend on your energy bills so it's important to make sure you get it right - and avoid these five common mistakes.
2. Turning up the thermostat for a quick fix This won't actually do anything to help you warm up fast as it has no control over the speed - all it does is set the final temperature. Programmable thermostats can help you avoid wasting energy, ensuring you come home to warm rooms that have been running efficiently while you were out.
