  [[**RS] Quote: "The cost-of-living crisis affected energy use in winter 2022/23 in British households. Domestic electricity consumption dropped 8.4%, gas consumption dropped 10.8%. Reducing heating was most effective; underheating and fuel poverty are key concerns. Energy reductions saved consumers around £29/month on their bills. Winter 2022/23 energy bills were still £34/month higher on average than before." Quote: "... 40% of those surveyed reduced their boiler flow temperature." Quote: "Energy-saving actions that reduce heating demand were the most strongly correlated with reduced gas consumption, in particular: lowering the thermostat setting, heating the house for fewer hours, using an electric blanket/hot water bottle and putting on more clothes rather than more heating, avoiding heating some living spaces, reducing boiler flow temperature, and turning down radiators."]
