NEARLY half of people in the West Midlands wrongly think leaving heating on all day is cheaper than turning it off and on again.
The finding was part of a survey by the Energy Saving Trust which also found 30 per cent in the region incorrectly think computer screensavers save energy and 45 per cent believe switched-off appliances do not use power when they are left plugged in.
