Now that the colder weather is setting in, many Brits will have decided it's time to turn the central heating back on. However, energy prices are significantly higher this year than in previous years meaning you could face paying eye-watering sums for your winter bills if you're not careful.
Heating your home can contribute to a significant chunk of your energy bills, so you might be looking for ways to stay toasty while also saving money. Thankfully, that doesn't mean keeping the heating off entirely.
By setting your thermostat to a sensible temperature, you might find that you pay less for energy than you're expecting, while still staying warm, the Mirror reports. More than half of homes were heated to a higher temperature than needed last year.
