How To Keep Your Home Warm This Winter
We have already felt the presence of winter having experienced the coldest October in a decade and you might have felt it more than most if your home isn’t sufficiently insulated.
Most of your time will be spent indoors over the coming months, so the last thing you want is to have your home life spoilt by the weather.
To keep the cold at bay you need to warm the place up somehow. There are at least three ways of accomplishing this…
Switch energy suppliers
The rising cost of their heating bills will force some householders to restrict heater usage when what they should be doing is looking for a cheaper energy package.
It’s so simple to search for a better deal nowadays and the switching process has been expedited to encourage more people to change supplier.
Go and find your most recent heating bill, visit a comparison site, and input your current usage to locate the best tariff. If you’ve never switched before, you could make a huge annual saving by doing so. Very often you will find that a fixed-rate tariff is your best option and the days of going without heating should be long gone.
Invest in some thick curtains
Your existing windows may be responsible for some of the cold coming in and the curtains covering them made of a relatively thin material.
To keep the cold out and warmth in, buy some thermal curtains. They’re much thicker than your average curtain and contain a thermal lining for the purpose of improving thermal standards.
Thermal curtains are available in countless colours and patterns, so you will have no problem finding a set to fit in with your various colour schemes throughout the house.
Install energy efficient windows & doors
If you have an ageing set of windows and doors they’re unlikely to be offering the level of thermal efficiency the modern home needs – single glazed windows and doors with original timber frames are the biggest culprits for this.
Upgrade to the most energy efficient double or triple glazed windows and doors you can afford as the energy savings you make during their lengthy lifespan will return your investment.
Heat loss and draughts won’t be something you need to worry about any more and your house will feel drastically warmer.
Every possible window and door style can be bought at Permaframe if your home could do with being warmed up this winter. Check out our Special Offers page to get 30% off many of them.
