With energy bills set to rise again, it’s more vital than ever to look for ways to save money on your energy bills. Finding ways to reduce our energy consumption without sacrificing on comfort is essential. Turning your thermostat by just one degree will, for most people, hardly be noticeable in terms of comfort, but could save around £145 per year on your energy bills. It could also reduce the carbon emissions of a typical home by around 300kg per year, helping the planet as well as your pocket.
Turning your heating down by just a few degrees reduces the energy your electric radiators consume to reach your desired temperature. Lowering the thermostat from 21°C to 18°C could minimise your heating bills by an impressive 15%.
If you leave your heating on, the temperature in your home will remain at a set level. If you have your heating set to turn on and off at set times, it will have to work harder to heat your home from cold to the required temperature.
The answer to this question is dependant on how well insulated your home is. If you live in a well-insulated home with minimal heat loss, it is likely more cost effective to leave your heating on all the time at a set temperature. If your home is not well insulated, it is likely that only putting the heating on when you need it will be cheaper for you.
Around one third of all heat lost from an uninsulated home escapes through the walls. Investing in wall insulation and blocking up any gaps around windows, doors and the floor will ensure it takes less energy to heat your home, helping to cut your heating bill costs. Improving your home insulation can help save you hundreds of pounds on your energy bills in the long run, making the initial investment well worth it.
You’ll hardly notice the difference if you just turn your thermostat down by one degree. If you’re turning it down by a couple of degrees, try wearing more layers, adding a couple of blankets to your sofa, or bundling up in a dressing gown to counteract the temperature difference.
Traditional heating systems usually include a timer, which can be quite basic and doesn’t necessarily allow you to get the best out of your heating. Modern electric radiators are a modular system, so each radiator can be controlled individually – helping ensure you don’t waste money heating rooms you aren’t using.
Smart heating controls can do everything that conventional controls can do, with a timer to control when the heating is on and off, and thermostats to set the temperature of your home. Modern electric radiator controls can also feature:
