A recent survey of 2,000 Britons determined that the ideal time to turn off the heating is when outdoor temperatures reach a consistent 15°C, usually by mid to late April. Heating is a common point of contention in households, with many revealing they turn the heating back on secretly. The cost of leaving the heating on unnecessarily can range from £6.08 to £12.16 a day. Experts suggest using programmable thermostats and improving insulation to manage indoor temperatures effectively, especially for vulnerable residents.
In the UK, weather trends show that by early April, average outdoor temperatures exceed 14°C in most regions. Once temperatures consistently hit around 15°C ... homes will be warm enough without needing continuous heating.
Even one day of unnecessary heating can cost households between £6.08 and £12.16 ... that adds up to £42.56 - £85.12 - enough to cover a weekly food shop.
According to the survey, men are usually the ones calling for heating to be turned off, while almost half of Brits are 'secret heaters', who turn the heating back on behind their partner's back.
Turning your heating off doesn't have to mean feeling cold. Use a programmable thermostat to regulate temperatures automatically ... check insulation and seal any draughts to keep warmth in.
