1. Keep the Heat

Heating accounts for 50% of household power use, heat only the rooms you're using to save.

2. Curtains for warmth

Up to 40% of winter warmth leaks through windows. Invest in good-quality lined curtains. 

3. Block the breeze

Air leakage accounts for 15 - 25% of winter heat loss, use door snakes (or even a rolled-up towel) to stop draughts. 

4. Sleep tight all night

Instead of heating your bedroom all night, use an electric blanket to heat your bed before you get in, turn it off or down once you’re in!

5. Heat stays indoors

Close doors to rooms not being used, your heater won't have to work as hard to keep you warm.
