Uswitch.com offers energy savings advice for any home, in any season. Here are some tips to keep your heating costs at a minimum:

1. Stay warm, cut costs. Turning your thermostat down by 1°C can save you a significant amount each year. Also, keeping your heating on constantly on a low heat could potentially save you more money than switching it on and off for big blasts of heat.

2. Get cosy. Wearing more jumpers, socks and slippers around the house, and putting an extra blanket on the bed means you won’t be tempted to turn the heating up.

3. Turn the pressure down on the power shower, you’d be surprised how much water they use – sometimes even more than a bath.
