When to turn your radiators off to save on energy bills this spring

With energy bills set to rise in the spring, many will want to know the best ways to slash bills and save some much-needed cash.

We spoke to Andy Kerr, heating expert and founder at boiler company, BOXT, to ask him for his thoughts. 

He said: “There is no set outside temperature at which you need to turn your heating off.

“But as the weather starts to warm up, many aim for when the clocks go back.”

This year, the clocks move forward on Sunday 26 March.

Andy continued: “As a rough guide, it might make sense to think about turning your radiators off around this date. 

“Only having the heating on when you really need it as the weather improves is a simple way to save energy and money at home. That said, a lot will depend on the insulation you have.

“A well-insulated property will be able to stay warm even if the outside temperature drops down again.”
