Boiler experts have shared the exact date this month you should switch off your central heating in order to save money on your energy bill.
Even though it may not feel like it, spring is on its way.
This means by the end of this month, the UK should be seeing temperatures a little warmer than we are experiencing now.
With this in mind, experts at PlumbNation say the date you should turn your heating off is March 26.
The reason for this date in particular is because this is when daylight saving time begins.
While it is possible that days after this could be colder, PlumbNation say homes which are well-insulated homes will be able to retain the heat brighter spring days will bring.
Of course, some people will still need to have the heating on beyond March 26, depending on your circumstances.
Jordan Chance, a heating expert from PlumbNation explained: "While many may be waiting for the temperature to change, there’s no specific temperature at which you should be turning off your heating, as it will depend on how well-insulated your home is.
"Well-insulated homes will retain their heat even when temperatures are low into the early spring, but every home will be different."
Homes which do not have the best insulation may need to keep their heating on a little longer, but they can implement a few ideas which can help retain the heat in their home better and in turn save you a bit of cash.
PlumbNation has shared a few cheap ways you can do this.
Draught proof your home
Stopping heat from escaping your home is a sure fire and easy way of keeping your home warm, and can help save you money.
To draught-proof your home, you will first need to identify the "problem areas" where draughts are causing issues, and often include doors, windows, chimneys and floorboards.
PlumbNation says you can block unwanted gaps by using draught-proofing strips around your windows and doors, or flexible silicone-based filler to fill the gaps in your floorboards.
The heating experts also say draught excluders are a "great way" to stop cold air creeping in through door cracks.
Draught excludes can be bought online and are not relatively expensive, but they can also be a DIY project for you and can be made using common items you find around the home.
For an easy, no-sew option, you can use a pair of tights, some old jeans, or an old jumper and you then fill it other bits you find around the home, like rice, carrier bags fabrics, old newspapers etc.
Introduce soft furnishings
Soft furnishings, such as curtains and rugs, can make all the difference in saving money on your heating.
PumbNation says homes which are carpeted will naturally boost the insulation in your home.
Hard flooring in homes can make the room simply feel a little colder as well as allow the heat to escape.
You can prevent this and help the overall temperature feel in your home by investing in some good quality rugs can really make a difference.
Clean Your Radiators
It may be something that has never crossed your mind, but cleaning your radiators weekly can really help with your heating bills.
Layers of dust in your radiator can prevent heat from escaping effectively, meaning your radiators will have to work harder to warm your room.
However, radiators are known for their hard to reach nooks and crannies, which can gather dust that impacts its efficiency.
By simply giving your radiators a wipe, or giving them a blast with a hairdryer, you can make your radiator's job a little easier so it doesn't have to work as hard.
Bleed your radiators
Bleeding your radiator is essential in preventing the efficiency of your radiator from decreasing, as a result of air entering your heating system.
PlubNation says the quickest way to check if air has entered your heating system is to turn your central heating on and feel your radiator.
If the radiator is warm at the bottom but cold at the top this is generally a sign that air is present.
Bleeding radiators is a relatively simple process but if you have never done it before, then there is a lot of guidance available online which can help you.
PlumbNation has a step-by-step guide on how to bleed your radiators, which can be found here.
