Take on the one degree challenge

There are plenty of people that, despite the low temperatures, are still holding out for popping their heating on. But if not turning the heat on at all doesn’t seem like an option for you, Lewis suggests people take on the one degree challenge and try reducing their home’s temperature from 21°C to 20°C.

According to Lewis, this small change could save you nearly 10% on your heating bill.

Pay attention to your boiler, too

Lewis also highlighted the money saving boiler challenge, which involves turning down the flow rate on combi boilers, as a simple way of bringing down costs. The temperature should sit around 60°C but most people have their boiler set far higher, perhaps without realising. By making the small change, the average household could save up to £112 per year on their heating bill.

Furthermore, to help reduce heat loss, fit your boiler with a hot water cylinder jacket.
