Over five million Brits will wait until the temperature dips to zero degrees or lower before switching on their heating this winter, according to new research.
Anglian Home Improvements carried out the research alongside the launch of its new Hot Property campaign, which is aimed at helping homeowners identify where the heat in their home maybe escaping from. The home improvements company partnered with a thermographer-qualified drone specialist to take heat sensitive images of six different properties ranging from Grade II listed homes to new build properties.
The most common efforts made by Brits to keep the heat in their homes are:
1. I close the curtains to keep the heat in when it’s dark – 61%
2. I have carpets/rugs instead of bare floorboards – 43%
3. I’ve added extra/better loft insulation – 34%
4. I fitted thicker curtains – 31%
5. I upgraded to double/triple glazing – 30%
