Three ways to keep your house warmer this winter

1. Use your curtains

Heat from the sun is free so make the most of it. Open your curtains and let the sunlight in during the day to make use of this free heat. When it gets dark, shut your curtains, which act as another layer of insulation and keep warmth in your rooms.

2. Install insulation in your house (or top up old and thinning insulation)

A well-insulated house can use as much as 45 per cent less energy for heating and cooling, which means that insulation pays for itself in cheaper bills.

3. Move your sofa

It might feel great to have your favourite seat in front of the radiator, but it’s absorbing heat that could be warming your home. By moving it away from the radiator, hot air can circulate freely. The same goes for your curtains or drying clothes – keep them away from the radiator so that you can get the most out of your heat source.
