Cheaper to leave central heating on or not?
Hello all I have heard that it is cheaper to leave you central heating on and adjust the thermostat than it is to turn it on and off. I believe that this may be because it takes longer and more energy to heat the house up when it gets cold than it is to keep it at a constant temperature. Since hearing this I have left mine…

who else thinks it's all far too complicated?
Honestly it's taking me ages trying to figure out what to do, whether to stay with npower or switch to another supplier. We're only staying in our flat until September to dont want anything with early termination fees. There's too many bloody tariffs as well it's crazy. And I dont find the comparison websites easy to use.

Dual fuel so there are four prices - gas upto a limit, gas over that limit and the same for electricity. THREE OUT OF FOUR of…
