WITH energy bills soaring we’re all looking at ways to cut the amount we’re spending.
And according to experts you could slash £50 a month from your bills by making one simple change.
Matthew Jenkins, the resident heating expert at MyJobQuote, says that using a hairdryer to clean dust and dirt from your radiator could reduce your energy bill by up to £625 a year
Horizontal radiators often have convector fins inside of them, if these become dusty less heat will be transferred between them, this could lead to increased inefficiency and blockages.
According to research by Enertek International, a dirty heating system could increase your energy bills by up to 25 per cent.
The average household in Great Britain will pay on average £2,500 a year for their energy bill from 1st October 2022, Jenkins has revealed that having a dirty heating system could therefore add up to £625 onto the average annual energy bill.

However, this quick two-step hairdryer hack could help to prevent this from happening to you.
Step one: Turn off your radiators and lay a towel beneath them to collect any dirt and dust.
Step two: Put your hairdryer on the highest setting and point the nozzle in the space between the back of your radiator and the wall.
This will blow any dust and dirt onto the towel you placed beneath the radiator and prevent dust and dirt from building up in the convector fins.
