Financial Advice – Households reveal radical plans to save on energy bills

Some of us are considering not turning on our central heating at all this winter – in order to save on energy bills. According to new figures from Moneysupermarket.com, around three per cent of all households will take this radical action. Meanwhile, 25 per cent say that they will turn their heating systems on less – while 19 per cent are planning to turn their thermostats down in order to save money. The ongoing financial downturn has hit many in the UK in the pocket, while high wholesale gas and electricity prices have led to energy firms imposing two sets of double-digit bill rises over the past year. Scott Byrom, Utilities Manager at moneysupermarket.com said: “In the current economic climate it’s no surprise to see wallet-watching Brits taking decisive action to keep their energy bills down during the colder winter months.

However, realising that over three quarters of a million of us won’t turn on our heating at all this winter is extremely concerning and, perhaps, not always necessary? Without doubt this is the most crucial time of year for everyone to have a sufficient heating supply to their home – not to mention those households with elderly people or young families.
