Tumble Dryer

Why run up two sets of bills? Well that’s at least what these lot think. Instead of switching on their central heating they leave their tumble dryers running all day and then when they have reached a good level they open their doors and out flows a blast of heat.

Oven Hob

Probably one of the more dangerous ways, especially if you have kids. But what I have seen a lot of people do is open up their oven hobs and allow the heat to flow out of there. Again a very weird technique that will probably end up costing them more money.

Boiler Water and Dehumidifier

When I first witnessed this type of technique I was literally fascinated and just how silly people could be. These people used to leave the shower running and the kettle boiling to heat up a room, at the same time a Dehumidifier was running in the background which was pulling the moist out of the air. Crazy, absolutely crazy.

Mass Candles

Oh, the old candle trick is saved until last. Did you know that burning even 100 candles in a single room will not provide the necessary heat during the winter months, yet people still proceed with this technique.

Now, you may be asking why on earth they do all of this crazy stuff. It’s simply because they have somehow convinced themselves that they will be saving themselves money, when all they are going to be doing is spending even more money. Instead they should be using BoilerJuice to get the cheapest possible oil.

I would love to hear some of the stories you may have heard about or witnessed.
