A heating expert has warned people against waiting to crank up the thermostats in their homes, warning it can create “unnecessary” problems. Around 22 million homes’ energy bills will increase by a staggering 6.5 per cent from October as a result of rising wholesale gas prices and the new energy price cap.
As a result, many are vowing to put off turning on their heating until the last possible moment. However, Winston Davies, heating expert and founder of Avenue Heating, warns of the dangers of waiting too long and revealed the date Brits should consider turning the heating on.
He 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.
