flag UK warns of misleading radiator ratings, urging checks for accurate heat output and energy-saving tips.

flag UK households are warned that some new radiators may have misleading heat output ratings due to unrealistic testing conditions, potentially leading to colder rooms and higher energy bills. flag Experts advise checking for ratings based on standard Delta T 50 or Delta T 30 conditions and verifying a Declaration of Performance (DoP) to ensure accurate testing. flag The Office for Product Safety and Standards is monitoring the issue, with possible enforcement actions for false claims. flag To save money, experts recommend maintaining a steady thermostat between 18°C and 21°C, using smart or programmable controls, and lowering the temperature by a few degrees—potentially saving up to £270 annually. flag The NHS advises heating when indoor temperatures drop below 15°C, with living areas kept at a minimum of 18°C.
