An expert has revealed the best date to turn your heating off this year - and it's not too far away. Chilly weather can wreak havoc in homes, causing everything from burst pipes to mould and condensation. Because of this, it's wise to keep heating your home through winter to avoid pricy repairs.
However, as energy costs rise with the latest price cap hike, Brits may be wondering how much longer it is until they can turn their thermostat off for the season. The general opinion among experts seems to be that the beginning of British Summer Time (March 30, 2025) is the time to switch off, reports the Express.
Ricky Sharma, director of Engineering Real Results, said: "High energy costs continue to place a huge strain on household finances across the UK, so many of us are keenly awaiting the end of the colder months. However, it's important not to jump the gun as switching the heating off too early can leave your home vulnerable to damage such as mould and damp.
"While the exact date is a decision for each family, it's usually safe to do so on the day the clocks go forward to mark the arrival of British Summer Time. That means we have another while to wait until the end of March so we can save some welcome cash on energy bills while staying nice and cosy at home.".
Come Sunday, March 30, we'll be springing forward into daylight saving time, which is set to remain until Sunday, October 26 this year. For those looking to slash their energy costs before the lighter evenings kick in, an expert has shared some savvy tips.
