Amid growing economic pressures, many UK households<\/strong> are unknowingly increasing their energy costs<\/strong>. Recent data<\/strong> shows that incorrect boiler settings<\/strong> could add up to \u00a3260 annually<\/strong> to energy bills<\/strong>. This common oversight, affecting homes nationwide<\/strong>, highlights opportunities for improved efficiency<\/strong> and substantial savings<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In an era of rising utility costs<\/strong>, UK residents are unwittingly adding an average of \u00a3260<\/strong> to their annual energy bills<\/a><\/strong> by making a simple but widespread boiler mistake<\/strong>. This oversight involves the incorrect setting<\/strong> of boiler flow temperatures<\/strong>. Major energy providers like British Gas<\/strong>, OVO<\/strong>, EDF<\/strong>, EON<\/strong>, and Octopus Energy<\/strong> have noted that many of their customers are not optimizing<\/strong> their boiler settings, which results in inefficient heating<\/strong> and higher gas usage<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Addressing these points can help homeowners reduce unnecessary energy expenditure<\/strong> and improve boiler performance<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Boiler flow temperature is a crucial setting that determines how hot the water<\/strong> is when it circulates through the heating system. EDF Energy<\/strong> highlights<\/a> that by reducing<\/strong> the flow temperature, the boiler operates more frequently in \u201ccondensing mode<\/strong>\u201d, which allows it to capture and recycle heat<\/strong> back into the system, thereby enhancing efficiency<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
