Experts settle debate on whether you should leave the heating on all day | UK | News
This summer enjoy the heat wave after the hot wave, but all this barbecue is already a remote memory. It’s just mid -September, but it’s cold, wet and even there’s even an air warning.
As a result, even if the autumn barely arrived, many household heating has already begun to bond.
But this time of the year usually sees a century of discussion shining again: is it cheaper to leave the heating all day, or should you open and close it when you need it?
Since many different households have different types of heating, different boilers and different people with different needs, the answer is probably a discussion because it is actually quite complex.
However, according to Energy Savings Foundation experts, the discussion is over and the answer is open.
Trust, if you have a boiler (and most still, even though the heat pumps become more common), the best thing to do is not to leave your heating open and close, not to leave all day.
He said: “If you have a boiler, then no – keeping the heating always will use more energy and cost you more money.
“More energy savings and better for your bills, the burning of your boiler when you need it.”
However, if you have a heat pump, then it is better to leave heating all day. “But if you have a heat pump, then you can save heating all day. Take a look at our advice on how to increase the efficiency of your heat pump.”
It should be noted that everyone does not accept the trust decision that saves energy.
Martin says Lewis’s MSE website ‘against it and against it’ arguments.
However, he stressed that Martin Lewis did not make his own decision about the argument and claimed that he should not be taken seriously.
MSE says: “I wish we could give you a definite answer, but this question is much more complex than it first, and we don’t heat up engineers or physicists. So please ignore the CLickbait Publications with an answer – know a lot about energy bills, but this is not our bag.
“Ultimately, there are arguments against it and against it, and it will probably depend on the type of heating system, your model of use, and what kind of insulation you have.”
MSE points to the ‘low and slow’ method that works with the best modern boilers. Here, you have always set the boiler to a lower fixed temperature instead of opening and off. 18 OT 19C and then leaving continuously can help the boiler reclaim the waste heat and work more efficiently.
MSE adds: “Perhaps the best advice is to try a experiment. Try for a few days or a week with a fixed low setting, and then try comparing the energy usage only when you need heating in the same period and in the same time period and the energy usage.
“Take and compare the meter reading at the beginning and end of each period.”
