Looking to cut down on your heating bill without freezing this winter? Octopus Energy has a nifty trick that could save you up to £100! 🐙💷
Amidst the January chill, it’s tempting to crank up the heating, but timing is everything. Instead of running the boiler non-stop, Octopus suggests you adopt the ’30-minute rule.’ Here’s how it works: set your heating to kick in 30 minutes before you need it and switch it off 30 minutes early. This strategy maximizes residual heat and avoids unnecessary energy consumption.
More savings are on the table too! Octopus also recommends a few other simple habits to trim your energy bill. Switch your dishwasher to full loads, replacing one bath a week with a quick shower, and turning off devices entirely instead of leaving them on standby. Even the small change of reducing the boiler flow temperature from its default range to 55-60 can bring you savings of up to £65.
These small adjustments can add up to a significant reduction in your energy costs. Stay warm and save smart this winter. What are your go-to tips for cutting energy costs? Share below! 🌡️🔌❄️
