The findings come as Ofgem is set to announce its latest price cap for energy bills from October
Health experts warn that maintaining cold temperatures in homes in winter can place people at higher risk of developing respiratory and cardiovascular diseases like asthma attacks, infections, heart disease and strokes. One woman surveyed by Which? with an annual income of less than £15,000 told the consumer group: “It has had a negative impact in all aspects of my life. I really struggle, we are always cold at home I’m too scared to put the heating on.”
Nearly half of households with annual incomes of between £20,000 and £45,000 and just under half of households on £45,000 to £80,000 said they did not turn the heating on when it is cold. Which? has called for a “properly targeted” social tariff, with recent proposals by Citizens Advice urging the same based on both household income and energy usage.
