The advice comes amid rising energy bills
And with the recent freezing conditions and rising cost of energy bills, things are pricier than ever. But there are a few tricks to help keep your home a little warmer and save you some money this Christmas time and throughout the rest of the winter.
Adam Pawson, Marketing Director at Safestyle explains that in order to check if this is an issue, you should run your hand around the edge of the door frame and if you can feel cold air coming through, you should "adjust the latch or hinges to get a better fit of the door in the frame. Alternatively, try draught proofing strips to fill the gap. These will help to draught-proof your uPVC door.
“Another way to insulate your home, which also looks great too, is to layer up on window dressings by using a combination of sheer curtains, blinds and drapes.” 3. Leave the oven door open after cooking When it comes to cooking, a great idea is to leave the oven door open to allow the heat to escape into the room. This will help keep it warm and is a simple way to keep your home heated after using the oven using the same amount of energy.
5. Energy efficient purchases If you’re looking a long-term solution, energy efficient windows will not only make your home feel warmer but help to save you money on your energy. And with bills on the rise, every penny that you can save helps.
