B&Q device costing £15 could save you money on your heating bill says plumber

A £15 bit of kit from B&Q could help Brits save on their heating bills, according to a plumber's advice to thousands of his followers on TikTok. A plumbing and heating engineer, known on the social media platform as djmatrix101, said that bills could be lower if people use a thermostatic radiator valve.

He said that using it properly could help people save money, Manchester Evening News reports. The advice comes as Prime Minister Liz Truss is expected to tell MPs today (Thursday) that domestic energy bills will be frozen at around £2,500 as part of a package to ease the cost-of-living crunch – said to cost up to £150 billion.

The Times suggested the freeze could last for up to two years – until the next general election in 2024 – and would be funded by increased borrowing.
