This winter is due to be a cold one, so British Gas has offered these top tips to keep yourself warm during the winter months. Their tips include wrapping up your water tank, insulating your pipes and getting a smart meter installed in your home. Doing these things not only keeps you nice and toasty, but helps you to save money on energy, too.
Key Takeaways:
- Blocking draughts to stop heat escaping and bleeding radiators are some of the best tips to keep your home warm.
- The older your boiler, the more inefficient it will be. If you have a pressure gauge, make sure the boiler is at the right pressure and top up as necessary.
- To help prevent burst pipes, ensure all pipes are properly insulated by using lagging.
