Everybody is looking for ways to save energy and money especially as fuel prices rise, autumn and winter months beckon and the temperature starts to drop. One simple change highlighted by money saving charities Nesta and Which? shows that households could knock a whopping £112 a year.
The organisations have launched a campaign with energy firms EDF, E.ON Next and Octopus with the aim of trying to offer advice that will reduce the cost of energy bills. Boiler flow temperature, which is different to thermostat temperature, is one of the money saving tips highlighted.
Nesta says people with combi gas boilers should have it set to a “flow temperature” of 60C or below, to use the gas in the most efficient way possible. However, many boilers run hotter than that - which uses more gas as heat is lost from the pipes in your home.
