How can I save money on gas and electric?
The rising cost of energy is on everyone’s minds – and for good reason.
Even with household energy bills now frozen at £2,500, there’s no doubt that most of us will be worse off this winter, with those living in older, poorly insulated properties paying the highest prices.
To prepare, most people will be looking to lower their bills by reducing consumption, putting the heating on less frequently, for shorter lengths of time, and at a lower temperature.
But there are other methods you could use besides focusing on the thermostat.
If sitting by the window means you need to bundle up under the blankets, then your windows aren’t doing their job well.
But with a few simple steps, you can easily increase the insulation power of your home’s windows.
