❄️ Want to reduce your heating costs this winter? 🏡💰
Keeping warm doesn't have to mean higher power bills. Try these simple tips to stay comfortable while saving money:
🌡️ Set your thermostat wisely
Keep your living areas between 18°C and 20°C. Every degree higher can increase your energy use by up to 10%.
🚪Stop the draughts
Up to 25% of your heating can escape through gaps around doors and windows. Door snakes and weather seals are an inexpensive way to keep the warmth in.
☀️ Make the most of your curtains
Open curtains during the day to let the winter sun naturally warm your home, then close them at dusk to help keep the heat inside.
⚡Take advantage of off-peak power
If you have a smart meter, ask your electricity retailer about a time-of-use tariff. Running your reverse-cycle air conditioner during off-peak periods can help reduce your electricity costs.
Small changes can make a big difference to your comfort, and your energy bills this winter! 🍃
