Warmer Bills publishes practical UK home-energy guidance built around a simple standard: every cost claim should carry a number, a unit and a date, with enough explanation for readers to understand where the figure came from.
How we choose what to cover
We choose topics by starting with useful questions that UK homeowners and long-term renters are actually trying to answer. Topic selection does not begin with which product pays the highest affiliate commission or which company wants the most attention.
Our coverage is limited to Appliance Running Costs, Heating & Boilers, Insulation & Damp, Energy Bills & Tariffs, Solar & Home Batteries, and EV Charging at Home. Within those areas, we focus on practical questions such as: what is this costing me, will this actually save anything, is it worth doing, why is my bill this high, and what should I do before winter.
We do not publish energy-market news, Ofgem policy commentary, supplier switching tables, exaggerated savings headlines, individual bill-dispute advice or instructions telling readers to carry out gas or electrical work themselves.
- Topic selection
- Useful reader questions come before affiliate or commercial considerations.
- Cost figures
- Figures are calculated from stated inputs rather than copied uncritically from marketing claims.
- Updates
- Guides and numerical estimates are dated so readers can judge how current they are.
- Corrections
- Material errors are corrected openly rather than being silently overwritten.
- Commercial content
- Sponsored and paid editorial placements are clearly identified and kept separate from our numerical conclusions.
How we produce cost figures
Every cost figure published by Warmer Bills is intended to be calculated rather than simply repeated from a manufacturer’s marketing claim. That means using relevant quantities such as watts, kilowatt-hours, hours of use, efficiency assumptions or unit rates, depending on the subject.
Our calculation approach is explained on the How We Calculate page. Where an article relies on assumptions, those assumptions should be visible enough for a reader to understand why their own result may differ.
Unsupported cost figures are not acceptable editorially. Neither are vague claims that something will save a household money without stating the basis, period or conditions behind the claim.
Dates, reviews and updates
Guides and cost figures are dated. Relevant guides are re-checked when the Ofgem price-cap rate changes, particularly where electricity or gas unit rates materially affect the calculation.
An update does not automatically mean that every conclusion changes. It means that the important inputs are checked again and the figures are revised where necessary.
Errors and corrections
Readers can report suspected factual, numerical or calculation errors by emailing [email protected]. Reports are checked against the article’s stated assumptions, source information and calculation method.
Corrections are made openly. Where a correction materially changes a figure or conclusion, an appropriate correction or update note is added rather than silently pretending the original version was correct.
Paid, sponsored and affiliate content
Warmer Bills may publish legitimate sponsored or paid editorial placements and may use affiliate links where relevant. Sponsored content is labelled, and affiliate relationships are disclosed so readers can understand the commercial context.
Paid placements are always labelled and never change a recommendation or a figure.
No undisclosed sponsored post is acceptable. A commercial relationship may support publication, but it may not silently alter a recommendation, calculation or numerical conclusion.
