Cheap household tool that could save £100s on your energy bill

manchestereveningnews.co.uk:

One small gadget could help you save hundreds of pounds a year while helping you keep your house warm more efficiently. According to latest data from the Government, more than 70 per cent of households in the UK use a radiator as their main source of heating.

However, without sufficient maintenance, these radiators are prone to a number of issues. One key way of ensuring that your radiator is warming up your home properly is bleeding it.

Radiators often get air trapped in them which makes them take longer to heat up a room - a telltale sign of this is if the bottom of the radiator is warm but the top is cold.

However, you will likely be unable to properly bleed your radiator without a radiator key. Fortunately, you can grab these keys for as cheap as £1 on sites such as Amazon and eBay, a very small investment for a little tool that some experts suggest could save you over £100 a year, depending on how long it's been since your radiator was last furnished.
