Exact date you should turn the heating on and ‘biggest downside’ to waiting according to expert

With summer behind us and the colder temperatures approaching, many of us will likely feel tempted to reach for the thermostat as the autumn chill creeps into our homes.

But given the ongoing cost of living crisis driven in part by rising energy bills, a lot of us may be thinking twice before turning the heating on. However, one expert has advised those waiting not to put it off for too long - and suggested the exact date that you should start heating your home.

Founder of Avenue Heating and heating expert Winston Davies told The Express : “Whilst we’re still in high double-digits, I don’t think it’s necessary to have your heating switched on just yet. However, that said, you should be turning your heating on once a week for half an hour, just to keep the moving parts from seizing up when you actually need them.”
