Greg Foot investigates the so-called wonder products making bold claims.

With the impact of the cost-of-living crisis continuing and winter ahead of us, many people are looking at ways to cut their heating bills. Even though energy prices have come down since last year, the removal of universal government support means that some bills will still be high.

Likewise, a smart thermostat can use this facility, known as geofencing, to turn off your heating when you leave your house if you have forgotten to do so, saving you money. However, Greg did find some more bold claims, including from Tado, who say their smart thermostats can save up to 28%, and that this is"scientifically proven". However, Jo says that saving was largely made through the geofencing feature and was based on a house where the thermostat was set and left at 20 degrees for most of the day.
