‘Weather bomb’ heads for north east but the heating remains off

Despite the "weather bomb” bringing chilling winds and plummeting temperatures to the North-East today, one in five residents are still waiting to turn on their central heating, according to Newcastle heating company KNW.

In a bid to save money this winter, twenty-one per cent of Newcastle homeowners said that they would wait until temperatures ‘turned arctic’ until they warmed up their homes.

More than half of North-East homeowners say that they are already feeling the cold in their home, as they are fearful of running up their heating bills, twelve per cent saying that they will be cutting back on Christmas this year due to soaring heating bills. What is more, nearly one third (31%) of North-East homeowners are rationing the heating this winter.

Ross Armstrong, MD from Newcastle based heating company KNW said: “The research is extremely concerning and highlights that action needs to be taken across the country. It is important to consider what other savings can be made to ensure we stay warm this winter and enjoy Christmas. I would recommend that people take some small steps, such as insulating their home and checking their boiler is running efficiently. A simple annual boiler check could save homeowners money on larger repair bills and could extend the life of their boiler.

The research also uncovered that one in three pensioners are planning to ration heating this winter, despite the dangers. Even more concerning is that twenty nine per cent of homeowners said that they know an elderly neighbour, friend or family member who will be cold inside their home this winter. Sixty-four per cent of North-East homeowners believe that the government needs to do more to help pensioners this winter.
