1. Close curtains and blinds before sunset
This helps trap the warmth inside and reduces heat loss through windows.
2. Check door and window seals
Small gaps can let cold air in and warm air out. Replacing worn seals is a simple and cost-effective fix.
3. Only heat the rooms you’re using
If nobody is using a room, turn the heater off and close the door. There’s no point paying to heat empty spaces.
4. Use rugs on hard floors
Rugs add an extra layer of insulation and help rooms feel warmer.
5. Keep doors closed
Closing doors helps contain heat in the areas you’re actively using.
6. Move furniture away from heaters
Allow warm air to circulate freely throughout the room.
7. Service your heater regularly
A well-maintained heater will operate more efficiently and use less energy.
8. Don’t heat empty rooms
If you’re spending the evening in the living room, there’s no need to keep heaters running in empty bedrooms or other unused spaces.
