He also covers how to set programmers to ensure you are only heating your home when you are there. This is a quick, cheap way to make sure you are not wasting energy and to reduce your energy bills.

In most cases setting you programmer correctly and adjusting your radiator’s thermostatic valves (TRVs) is the easiest way to cut waste and it requires no special skills or equipment.
