Amid the biting January chill, thousands across the UK are seeking savvy ways to heat their homes cost-effectively. Tap Warehouse's home expert Nancy Emery has come forward with her ultimate guide to affordable warmth, reports the Express. She said: "People are understandably and unavoidably going to have the heating on more and for longer periods of time. However, effectively heating your home shouldn't be a financial strain in an already money-tight month.
"There are ways you can retain heat in a room and avoid heat escaping which all add to your home's efficiency while we ride out these plummeting temperatures. Many of which don't cost anything at all, it's just a case of making a few changes in the room.".
Start with furniture placement, Nancy urges rearranging pieces away from heat sources: "It may seem obvious, but moving your sofas just an inch or two away from your radiators can make a big difference. Many people have their sofas right up next to their radiators, but this can actually stop the heat from escaping from your radiator as it'll just get absorbed into whatever is blocking it.".
Another hot tip involves your oven; Nancy advises leaving its door open post-cooking. Nancy said: "This will make use of otherwise lost heat and make your room feel toasty and warm.". As a long-term investment, consider upgrading home furnishings, a move that could bolster your abode's inherent cosiness. Harnessing the right curtain strategies can be a game changer for staying snug, experts share.
