Martin Lewis' Money Saving Expert says £10 item can help cut energy bills - Stoke-on-Trent Live
MoneySavingExpert says fitting £10 thermostatic radiator valves can save UK households around £40 annually by controlling temperatures room-by-room.
- Martin Lewis's MoneySavingExpert urged UK households to fit thermostatic radiator valves costing £10 each, claiming they could cut heating bills by £40 annually.
- TRVs work by regulating water flow into radiators and reduce it once rooms reach the set temperature; they control individual rooms except the one with the main thermostat, which manages the rest of the house.
- MSE warned households to be cautious and not turn radiators fully off because that could cause burst pipes, increase condensation and mould risk, and impair fridges and freezers below 10°C.
- For those working from home, this saves heating empty rooms, office workers should adjust controls before 9am, and households can turn down radiators with unused valves.
- Wider adoption could reduce wasted heat and help budgets, as TRVs allow some hot water flow when 'off' to prevent frozen pipes, but MSE cautioned risks like burst pipes and mould.
