A new study found that as many as half a million houses in the UK keep their heating on all year round, which includes throughout the warm summer months.
The research has also found that a third of people also leave their heating on all night throughout the winter months and also 46% of homes will switch their heating on for the first time during October.
2,000 people were questioned for the survey which also revealed Britons can be hugely wasteful with their energy. Over 1 / 2 of every home have got at least one room which is warmed up although nobody uses it and only on in five of us will turn off radiators in rooms which aren’t used regularly.
Replacing aspects of your home heating may help make your home much more energy efficient and will allow you to keep your heating costs as low as possible. There are a variety of heating options readily available, so that you don’t have to simply stick to what you currently have.
Lots of people now decide to change the central heating radiators inside their bathrooms with towel radiators or even heated up towel rails, as these can be much more efficient at heating these spaces and also give you the benefit of warm and cosy towels when you are getting out from the bath or shower.
