Take a look at our tips for reducing the energy you use over the colder months – helping you cut your bills while still keeping your home warm.
1. Upgrade to save
Have you been thinking about upgrading to a new boiler for a while? Get ready for winter and replace an older, G-rated boiler with a modern, A-rated boiler with full heating controls could help you save up to £500 a year on your gas bills*.
*Savings vary. Source Energy Saving Trust 2026 July 2026.
