💡 Got a combi boiler installed after April 2005? Here’s a tip to keep your home cosy and your wallet fuller!
If you’ve got one of these boilers, adjusting the boiler flow temperature can make a big difference. Energy expert Tom Lyon says setting this temp around 60°C instead of the usual 70-80°C could cut gas use by 6-8%. Considering the average gas bill is £682, that’s a potential saving of about £55 a year! Remember, keep radiator temps at least 75°C and hot water at 60°C to fend off legionella. 🦠
Got a hot water tank? Wrap it up in insulation to keep the warmth longer—only £22!
Martin Lewis, the money-savvy guru, has more tips to slash heating bills: 🏠
🔹 Challenge yourself to reduce your thermostat by 1 degree. The World Health Organisation suggests 18°C is fine for most adults. Dropping from 21°C to 20°C? You could save around 10%! 🔥
🔹 Don’t crank up the heat when you’re feeling chilly. The thermostat will hit your desired temp and boosting it too high is unnecessary and costly.
🔹 Lower the flow rate in your boiler system. A setting of 60°C works efficiently without compromising your home’s warmth, potentially saving £100 yearly! 🙌
