A plumber has urged cash-strapped Brits to install a simple £15 device from B&Q in their homes to save money on their heating bills. While the likes of Edwina Currie and Boris Johnson have made money-saving suggestions that went down like a lead balloon (looking at you, Martin Lewis), one plumber's advice has proven so popular, it's gone viral.
TikTok user djmatrix101, a plumbing and heating engineer, recommended using a thermostatic radiator valve to lower your bill. Speaking to his thousands of followers, the engineer said: "This device will save you money, if you know how to use it properly.
"Effectively a lot of people, when the switch the central heating on, they heat the entire house - so that's every room in the house that has a radiator they are heating using their boiler. The vast majority of people don't spend all day in bed, or in the bedroom.
