'Everyone with a combi boiler should be trying this'
Reporting by Levi Winchester
A simple energy tip could save households across the UK up to £100 on heating bills as the weather gets colder. Martin Lewis explained that checking the"flow temperature" of the boiler can make a huge difference in bills. Thereports that this is the temperature that the boiler heats the water up to before it is sent off to radiators.
On the most recent episode of the Martin Lewis Money Show Live, the MoneySavingExpert told viewers that boilers should be set at 60°. However, he went on to explain that most are programmed to be much higher than this.He said:"You normally want it to be around 60° but most peoples boilers are set higher - that’s really inefficient. You can turn this down, it won’t affect the heat in your house, it’ll still be the same temperature.
"It won’t affect your hot water temperature - it might take slightly longer to get up to the maximum temperature. But it can cut £100 a year off your bill and is well worth everyone doing.Angellica Bell, co-presenter of the ITV show, shared a success story from one viewer who tweaked his own boiler setting. She said:"His boiler had a high temp of 85° - he now has a boiler flow temperature of 60° which works just as well and saves money.
