Save £100 on Heating with This Thermostat Hack

It's winter. You're cold. But what if we told you there's a smarter, cheaper way to stay warm—and it's as easy as pressing a few buttons?

It's winter. You're cold. The temptation? Crank the heat and wrap yourself like a burrito. But what if we told you there's a smarter, cheaper way to stay warm—and it's as easy as pressing a few buttons?

Yep, we're talking about thermostat scheduling. It's the low-effort, high-impact hack that could save you up to £100 a year on heating. Let's break it down.

Here's the Magic Temperature Formula:

• 21°C during the day when people are home and active
• 18°C at night when you're tucked in bed
• Off or super low when no one's home (no need to warm your furniture)

Set these on a schedule using your thermostat (even basic models have this feature!). Smart thermostats make it even easier—you can tweak things from your phone while you're still in bed. Yes please.

Why This Works:

Heating uses a ton of energy—every extra degree adds about 10% to your bill. By heating smarter (not harder), you're cutting costs without sacrificing comfort. Plus, it's better for the planet. Win-win.

Bonus Tip: Don't Heat Empty Rooms

If you've got a guest room that only sees life during Christmas or a rarely used office-turned-laundry-dump, turn the radiator down or off completely. Your heating bill will thank you.
