The “Heating On Low” Myth That Could Be COSTING You a Fortune This Winter

Is Leaving the Heating On Low All Day Quietly Draining Your Bank Account? Your nan swears leaving the heating on low all day is cheaper than switching it on and off. The bloke at work says the same. They can't both be right, and the honest answer depends on sums most people never actually do. In this video I go through five claims people pass around about leaving the heating on, testing each one against a published source or a sum on the whiteboard. Standing charges, flow temperature, damp old houses, the lot. Every number on screen has its source underneath, and nobody's paying me to say any of it. I'll also show you something you can do tonight that puts the question to rest for your own house, no guesswork needed. Anything inside the boiler casing, or anything involving gas, is a job for a Gas Safe registered engineer. If you smell gas, call the National Gas Emergency number on 0800 111 999. Keep it warm, keep it cheap.
