  • I've just reduced our central heating bill by several hours per week - it all adds up. I now only have hot water on in the morning for showers, if it runs out later in the day I can always boil a kettle, or override, and it hasn't so far. Heating - it's warm when we get up, but goes off half an hour or more before we go out to work. Once showered and dressed, and moving about, there's no time to get cold so the house may as well start cooling down while we are still in it. Same at night, heating off at 9.30 and go to bed around 10. May as well watch telly in bed, or read a book, or whatever. Nice and warm, but the heating is off. Best to estimate having the heating on a short time, then override if necessary.:rotfl:
  • Make sure that you have cavity wall insullation and loft insullation, radiator reflectors are a good one, draft proofing, double glazing, turning your thermostat down by 1 degree saves you 10% on your bill, energy saving lightbulbs, A rated appliances, turning everything off standby.
