Cutting the Cost of Heating in your Home

In the UK the average family spends over £1,100 per year in their family home on gas and electricity. It’s fair to say this is a lot of money whether it be on a monthly or yearly basis but it is definitely a cost that can be reduced in a number of ways.

Knowing you can save money is always a bonus and something we all look to do, that is why we want to help you reduce your energy bills by sharing with you a number of ways you can reduce the amount of money being spent on heating within your home.

Easy ways to reduce your heating bill

Our first bit of advice is a simple one but isn’t something people would always think of. When we’re cold we always revert to turning the heating on or hiring it up but by doing this we are only racking up the monthly direct debits!

Rather than heading straight for the thermostat why not head to your wardrobe and put a jumper on, some thicker pyjamas or even an extra pair of socks. It’s a very easy and cost-effective way of reducing your heating bills.

Are you leaving the heating on all day when you’re at work and the children are at school? If the answer is yes then how come? No one is in the house to keep warm so think of all the heat and money you’re wasting heating an empty home.

It’s understandable, you don’t want to get home from a long day to a cold house but you can look at setting a timer for your water and heating so it is only on for the time you really need it to be on.

When the house has warmed up and you start getting too hot, do you find yourself turning off the heating or opening a window or door? We can guarantee a good majority of you will open the windows to let some air in but when you’re letting the cool air in you are allowing the hot air to escape and are basically just throwing money out of the window with the heat inside your home.

A final point to think about is sometimes it might not be you. It could be your central heating system that is the issue. If you think you’re doing all you can to reduce your costs and still aren’t seeing any benefits it probably a good time to call someone out to give it a once over to make sure everything is okay and working as it should be.
