Martin Lewis has explained whether it's more cost-effective to leave the heating on all day or not. Speaking on ITV's This Morning, the ever-savvy money-saving guru shed some light on a matter. He said: "They say it's better to only put the heating on when you need it.
You pay to pump energy in as and when is needed, and to keep pumping it in constantly isn't efficient. "Using a timer's best, because your thermostat is designed to turn your heating on and off to keep your home at the temperature you set it at. So in general I'd stick with that.

He said: "There are some engineers who argue that keeping the heating on low with all the radiators on and the boiler down can work as it reduces condensation, which when the heating is turned off collects within the walls, and can help conduct heat outside the home.
"This means you lose heat more quickly and will use more energy as a result. So if your house is prone to that you may want to think about it." Recommended reading: Aldi’s incredible October specialbuy range out now I went to Rhodes looking for love but ended up with a goose Where are mete.
