Why Is My House So Cold? (and how cast iron radiators help)
This guide answers “why is my house so cold?” with general UK advice. It isn’t medical advice, so if anyone at home is elderly, very young or unwell, keep rooms at 18°C or above and ask a GP or pharmacist. Ask a Gas Safe registered engineer before you change any boiler setting. The usual reason…
