🍂 Winter’s here and it’s not cheap! But did you know you can slash up to £112 off your heating bill with one simple boiler tweak? No, we’re not talking about turning your heating down.
🔧 It’s all about your boiler’s flow temperature. What’s that you ask? It’s the temperature your boiler heats water to before sending it to the radiators. Most boilers are set to a default that’s higher than necessary. Lowering it to around 60°C can keep your home cosy while trimming up to 9% off your gas bill!
💡 Sam Carter, radiator expert, shares: “Lowering your boiler flow temperature from 80°C to 60°C can cut gas use by up to 9%. The sweet spot is the lowest setting that still keeps your home warm.”
🚿 If you have a conventional boiler with a hot water cylinder, just adjust one dial. For combi boilers, you’ll find two: one for the radiators and one for hot water. Look for the radiator setting, often shown as a little radiator icon.
💸 Octopus Energy backs the savings, saying you can trim bills by 12% while staying just as snug. Zoe Morris adds that adjusting this one setting means your boiler doesn’t have to work as hard, so it uses less gas – leading to those sweet savings!
💾 Remember, this small change could make a big difference without forgoing comfort. Perfect for keeping snug without breaking the bank this winter! 🏡✨
