The tips come amid soaring energy bills
It comes as the UK's new Prime Minister, Liz Truss, announced a new energy price guarantee today, which will come into force in October - something she says will save households £1,000 on energy as wholesale gas price rise.
Insulate windows - reduce heat loss up to 50 per cent Older houses especially tend to have draughty windows. In order to find draughts and air leaks, light a candle and walk through your home, going along the walls where any draughts may be entering your home. Once the candle begins to flicker, you have likely found a draught in your home.
When it’s sunny, open your curtains to let sunlight in the house and warm up your room for free. Close the curtains as the sun goes away to retain the heat. Researchers from the University of Salford say that drawing your curtains at sunset can reduce heat loss by around 15-17%.Your external doors can be leading causes of heat loss. Around 25 per cent of the home’s heat escapes through cracks and gaps in the walls, windows and doors due to draughts.
Glass is not good for insulating rooms. If your bed is close to a window or external wall, rearranging your furniture so that your bed is away from windows and next to internal walls can be a cost-free way of staying warm at night.
