Keeping your self warm in winter is not always the easiest task, but there are a few things that can be done to help you during the colder winter months. Some conventional and some a little strange, but all will add an extra feeling of comfort to your home.
Door excluders are great for preserving the warmth in your home. Tartan dog style not needed!
Why not consider a simple draft excluder? - Ok, well maybe not a dachsund draft excluder, but you get the idea.
These will keep some of the cold air out and plenty of warm air in your home which can boost the overall temperature of your living space. Just place one behind your front door, or any other drafty area - like a conservatory door for example.
Clingfilm your windows - For single glazed homes, this can keep additional warmth in the room which is lost through less energy efficient single glazed panels. By stretching cling film over a window, you are able to add an extra layer of air to the window, which has an insulating effect.
Although this may look a little scruffy, if done correctly, you can hardly notice that anything has been put on the windows at all.
Hire a heater - HSS.com have a large range of electric heaters for hire, which can quickly add a great deal of warmth to any room. Simply find a nearby power socket, plug in and you are ready to go.
Do make sure you adhere to all of the correct safety instructions included as electric heaters can be dangerous if left unattended for extended periods of time. Also avoid covering the heater with clothes etc as this can pose as a major fire hazard.
No matter how small a heat saving exercise turns out to be, the cumulative effects can be fantastic. When the nights are getting colder, its always good to know you are going to be warm when at home.
