In a conversation with The Irish Sun, James shared four unconventional yet effective hacks to save money on energy bills while keeping a home warm during the winter.

In total, James estimated that implementing these hacks could lead to savings of up to £225 per year on energy bills.
Where you keep your air fryer could have an impact on how much it costs to run - Contributer: Nicholas Auckland
Nicholas spoke to the Irish Mirror and highlighted the impact of air fryer placement on energy costs in Irish kitchens. Despite the popularity of air fryers for their energy-saving benefits, Nicholas warned that improper placement could lead to longer cooking times and increased electricity usage, negating the appliance's efficiency. Advising that air fryers should be positioned on heat-resistant countertops with ample space around them, he emphasised the need to prevent potential burning by keeping them away from non-heat-resistant materials.
Heating expert warns against dangerous viral heating hack as it can cause fires - Contributer: Ben Clarke
In this article, Ben cautioned against a viral heating hack circulating on social media, stressing its potential danger. The TikTok trend involves placing three or four candles inside an upturned terracotta plant pot to supposedly heat a room and replace traditional heating methods. However, Ben debunked this claim, revealing that not only does it fail to effectively heat a room, but it has also led to at least one house fire. He highlighted the misconception that this hack can save money, explaining that the cost of candles and materials could exceed the expenses of using the main heating system. Ben provided cost estimations, illustrating that the viral hack could end up being more expensive than running a boiler, urging people to prioritise safety over viral trends.
Radiator expert advises when to turn off your heating to save the most money - Contributor: James Auckland
James contributed valuable insights to an article discussing the optimal timing for turning off heating systems to maximise cost savings. According to James, recent data indicates that households are likely to turn off their heating for the summer two weeks earlier compared to previous years, with April 1st being the most popular date. He attributed this trend to factors such as the rising cost of living and the warming climate in the UK. He also talked about the importance of considering both insulation levels in homes and the increasing expenses associated with heating systems, highlighting the significance of informed decisions regarding heating usage.
