Winter can be a tricky time of year to manage your home’s temperature. As the temperature drops and you turn on the heating, it can feel like you’re throwing money away. But don't worry—there are plenty of ways to keep your home cosy and warm during cold winter months! Here are five tips that will help you do just that.
Invest in Heating Controls
The best way to get the most out of your heating system is by investing in some quality heating controls. These controls allow for better energy management, meaning you can set the temperature of your home without having to constantly adjust it.
Smart Thermostats
Smart thermostats are also great for controlling your home’s temperature from anywhere via an app. Take a look at our wide range of time controls here.
Wear the Right Clothes
It may seem obvious, but wearing the appropriate clothing can make a huge difference in how warm you feel. Layering up with thermal tops, jumpers, and thick socks can help trap heat close to your body and keep you feeling cosy.
Encourage elderly relatives or those at risk to wear multiple layers, as they can feel the cold more than others and are at vulnerable to hypothermia. Check on them regularly to ensure they have adequate heating.
Use Heaters Where You Can
Electric heaters are here to save the day (and your heating bill). Imagine snuggling up on the sofa with a good book or settling into bed for a cosy night's sleep, all while surrounded by the perfect amount of warmth. By strategically placing heaters in your most frequented rooms, you can get the heat you need without wasting energy and money on empty spaces. Heat the human, not the home!
Portable Electric Heaters
Portable electric heaters can be a great way to keep yourself warm without having to heat the whole house. Our Oil free vs Oil Filled radiators article will help you decide which is best. We have a great selection of panel heaters and electric radiators to help you keep warm without blowing the budget.
Insulate Your Home
Insulating your walls and attic spaces is a great way to keep heat in and make sure cold air doesn’t sneak into your home through small cracks or gaps. Check if there are any grants available from your local authority before embarking on any major insulation projects; they may even provide free insulation depending on circumstances.
Use Heated Blankets
Stay warm without cranking up you're heating by using heated throws or blankets. These snuggly essentials consume minimal electricity, only costing around 3p per hour. But remember, safety comes first when using any heated throw or blanket. Always check for a safety mark on the label to ensure it’s suitable for use.
Block Out Drafts
Cold drafts coming in through doors and windows can make a huge difference to the overall temperature of your home, so make sure to block them out with draft excluders or sealants where possible.
If you have older windows, consider fitting secondary-glazing or double-glazing units, which are more efficient at reducing heat loss than single-pane windows.
There’s no need to break the bank trying to stay warm this winter! Just follow these simple tips and tricks and you'll be able to enjoy cosy winter days without breaking into a sweat over high bills. So, grab that blanket, put on an extra jumper, and get ready for winter comfort.
