Central heating, 24/7 during winter ?

[183sash]

often been told by plumbers that its cheaper to leave the central heating on permanently in the winter as it costs less for the boiler to just keep topping up the heat once in a while rather than starting from scratch maybe a couple of times a day - but ive just read an article by martin lewis - the moneysaving expert - about saving money on fuel bills this winter , he said the opposite DONT leave it on all day - so who's right ? also is it worth me getting one if those wireless thermostats, and if so whats best (got a vaillant boiler)

i leave mine on low during the day now.

in the hope it doesnt have to work as hard to warm the house when everyone gets in.

only time will tell if this saves money.

i wouldnt have thought leaving it on all day is going to save money,my ch system reaches full temp very quick then shuts itself down for a short while,if your pipes are not insulated then get them done that does make a diference

Is he???? Never liked him but may have to review my opinion of him!

We havent turned our heating on yet, extra layers and cups of tea and we are coping. We said we'll turn it on the first time it snows.
