4)Using thermostatic radiator valves can allow you to set the correct temperature in each room.
5)In winter, by wearing more clothes you can keep your thermostat on but still benefit from reduced heating bills.
6)Find out if you qualify for free loft insulation and cavity wall insulation – that can help to reduce your central heating bills.
7)If your boiler is more than 10 years old, you could be wasting more than £235 pounds per year of your heating bill as your boiler may be less than 60% efficient.
