Stop doing that: heating expert named mistakes that increase bills

When the weather gets cooler, people turn on the heat. However, many make mistakes that lead to higher bills.

Jess Steele, a heating technology expert at BestHeating, has offered two important tips to help save money on heating. Express.co.uk reports that.

Turn down the thermostat

Preferably, owners keep the thermostat around 22°C, which may seem cozier but is likely to increase energy bills. Research shows that by lowering the temperature in your home you can save significantly on your energy bills.

According to Stohl, 18°C should keep you comfortably warm during the colder months. This can save up to 10 percent on your heating bill.

Only heat the room you are in

This will increase the efficiency of the boiler, allowing the rooms you are in to heat up faster and save on heating costs.
