According to a boiler expert, making one simple change can make all the difference and will cut costs this winter - and it’s all to do with a common myth. The question on everyone's lips is whether it’s more purse-friendly to keep the heating on a constant low or to only switch it on when required.

Andy Kerr, a boiler installation guru at BOXT has offered his professional insight, to ensure Britons use their central heating effectively. Andy, the BOXT founder, shared: "The idea that leaving your heating on low all day will save you money is a myth.”.
Instead, Andy shared that if you want to save cash and stay warm this winter, it’s all about keeping it simple. He added: “The best way to save money on your heating bills is to only use your boiler when you need it so that it does not continually use energy.".
Andy continued: "By only using your boiler when you want warm water or heating, you minimise the energy your boiler uses in the long term.". And the justification is straightforward - burning fuel at a constant rate will result in the continual use of energy and energy loss.
