Impressed by that easy-to-remember stat that one degree up on the radiator equals 5% more on your heating bills, I posted it on a discussion website. However one commentator was less enthralled, saying: “Are you sure? Surely it depends on a lot of factors such as ambient temperature, the temperature you’re trying to maintain and even the current barometric pressure?” Just in case I wasn’t feeling small enough, he added: “Saving energy is a good thing. But quoting random numbers only hurts a cause.” I liked the numbers. They were easy to understand. Were they that random? Please help.
