Winter is
well and truly here and with the weather seeming to get colder by the day, you
might find yourself putting the heating up. But is there another way to
insulate your home?
In this blog
we are going to be discussing the best ways to keep your home warm.
Utilise
Your Curtains
Your
Curtains may block out the light, but they are also a great way of keeping heat
in your home. Did you know that they can add insulation by around 12%! The best
way to use them is to keep them open during the day letting the sun in and then
closing them at night, keeping the warm air in your home for as long as
possible.
Double
Glazing
Single
glazed windows are less common now but those with older houses may still have
them. Overall, they will let out heat twice as much as double glazing windows
and can cost you lots more in energy bills. If you already have double glazing
but still don’t think you are feeling the benefit from them then why not try
triple glazing!
Set a
Thermostat Timer
If your
energy bills are unnecessarily high why not set your thermostat on a timer,
this means you know exactly what time your heating is on and how much you will
be spending. The best time to put it on is 30 minutes before you wake up and in
the evening when everyone is back from work. This is a great way to cut costs
whilst still being warm.
