TOP 10 WAYS TO SAVE MONEY ON YOUR GAS BILLS.

  1. Set your heating to go off 30 minutes before you leave the house, and come on again 30 minutes before you expect to return.
  2. Turn the room thermostat down by 1oC. This can save you around £30 a year!
  3. Make sure your radiators are not obstructed by curtains or furniture.
  4. Draw your curtains at dusk to help keep the heat generated inside your rooms.
  5. Insulate your loft space and consider cavity wall insulation too.
  6. Add thermostatic radiator valves to all radiators so you only heat the rooms you want to heat and do not waste energy heating empty rooms.
  7. Upgrade your boiler to a modern condensing type which can save up to 40% on your gas bills.
  8. If your house is old or you do not have double glazed windows, drafts will be your biggest cause of heat loss and wasted energy. Plug any drafts and shut doors to keep the heat contained in the rooms for longer.
  9. Turn down the temperature of your hot water to 55oC as less gas will be necessary to heat it to this temperature. You’ll be surprised how hot that actually is!
  10. Time your hot water to come on and off when you need it as it is possible that you are heating water every day that does not get used (does not apply to combination boilers).
