Dad says installing a smart thermostat has made ‘the world of difference’ to energy bills | Personal Finance | Finance
He added: “Now when I turn the heating on, ill just turn on the room that I am in and let’s say I was going to bed in an hour or so, I will switch on the bedroom heating and turn off the downstairs.
“I’m thinking about my energy use a lot more, where I should be using it, where I could be using it and where I am wasting it. With energy going up, I think I will be in a better place this winter than last simply because of that.
“It’s because I won’t be wasting energy, which is the main thing.”
Richard recommends other Britons, if they can, to invest in a smart thermostat not just as a short-term fix to help energy bills, but as a long-term investment in changing attitudes towards energy usage.
He added: “It’s a small step people can take which could ultimately really help. You’ve got to look at the bigger picture these smart systems will help, and it will 100 percent help by just getting a smart thermostat.”
