Brits are facing extremely cold weather as the UK is experiencing an Arctic snap, with temperatures expected to plummet as low as -16C in the coming days.

Many homeowners will be waking up to frozen pipes - a common and costly issue caused by the severe drop in climate. Not only does this stop your heating and hot water from working properly, but in the worst case, the freezing conditions can cause pipes to burst, leading to leaks and even flooding.

According to a boiler expert, understanding how to effectively heat your home in the winter months is crucial. A boiler expert from New Boiler Installation Glasgow has emphasised that setting your heating at the right temperature can help keep homes warm and stop frozen pipes without incurring high energy bills.

The expert advised against cranking up the heat when it's cold, instead suggesting setting it at a consistent temperature, reports the Express.
