Partners are arguing over heating costs

Filed Under Finance

It seems that the thermostat is harming domestic bliss, according to a new survey by MoneySupermarket.com.

Apparently 11 percent of couples argue about turning the heating up. Men, it appears are more resilient to the cold and are more likely to give their partner a hard time when they want to warm up the house a bit more.

This strikes a bit of a chord at the moment - not because I am arguing with my wife about the heating costs, but because there is no longer a need to keep turning the heating up in our house after my foray into the loft with rolls of space blanket loft insulation.

It’s not been very cold yet, of course, but the house is noticeably warmer and it heats up much more rapidly now too.

So if you want to avoid domestic strife over the thermostat then I thoroughly recommend insulating the loft!
