Research from Twitter has revealed that kids are secretly turning up the heating when their parents are not looking.
The energy specialists at Glow-worm are advising people to take 3 simple steps to ward off the chill this winter and manage their costs without getting hot under the collar.
1) Make sure your home is well insulated. Check out your loft; sort out any draughts from poorly fitted windows and doors.
2) Watch out for hot zones. The main rooms you use during the day should be at a minimum of 21°C (70°F) but at night your bedroom should be at a minimum of 18°C (65°F). Adjust your thermostat so you don’t spend the day too cold and the night too hot. Adjust radiator settings to suit the comfort levels of the individual.
3) Get acquainted with your central heating system. By spending 10 minutes getting to understand how your boiler works you will be able to set your heating to a temperature that suits everyone in the household.
