Here's a little trick which surprisingly works.


Turn your thermostat down 1 or 2 degrees and leave the heating on ALL
the time, not just in the morning and evening. I guarantee you will save
money and the house will be a warmer place 24/7.


No it won't. Heating loss increases as a product of the differential. So
leaving the heating on may well, of course, result in a more comfortable
house, but it won't save money.

The most sensible way is to use a programmable thermostat. This will
automatically adjust the temperature for night time, morning, day when
you're out or busy, and evening when relaxing. And may also be set for
different combinations on non working days.

About 50 quid and easy to fit. Battery operated. Remote wireless types
also available.
