Control of the thermostat is often a cause for disagreement in many homes. A recent survey has calculated that the difference in temperatures preferred by women compared to men costs up to £425 a year more in heating bills!
According to the study, the average British male does not like the thermostat to go above 22oC (71.6F) and prefers it at 19oC (66.2F).
