Or even they can get like improve the installation of their homes, get new doors and windows and there's grants available for that stuff.

Well, it's kind of.

But like if you were to lower the thermostat from 22 degrees, which is quite balmy, to 20 degrees, you could save yourself around...

€1.25 per room per day, if there's six rooms that you're heating.

That doesn't sound significant, but you think, OK, well, that's actually, what, €7.50?

But you spread that over the course of a year, and that's suddenly €360 that you're saving by just lowering the temperature of your thermostat by two degrees.

100%.

And there are lots of circumstances when you can say, OK, well, why isn't your heating system efficient?

Is there anything you could do?

Could you bleed your radiators?
