Winter Tips: Save Money, Energy & Stay Gas Safe:
Winter can bring chilly days and increased energy bills, but with some simple adjustments, you can keep warm, save money, and stay safe this season.
Here are a few quick tips to help you navigate the colder months:
Make Your Home
Warmer:
Avoid drying clothes directly on the radiator which can make them work harder to provide the same level of heating, use a clothes airer instead
For more detailed tips and guidance, click to view and download the ‘Warm Wales’ leaflets, and explore additional ways to keep your home energy-efficient, warm, and safe this winter (available in English & Welsh).
Make Your Home
Warmer:
Reduce draughts around windows, doors, cat / dog flaps, loft doors with shop bought, or home-made draught excluders
Saving Money on Your Energy Bills:
The average UK household puts the kettle on 1,500 times a year – only fill it with the amount of water you need
Saving Money on Your Energy Bills:
Keeping appliances clean and well maintained helps them be efficient – empty vacuum cleaners, de-scale kettles, washing machines and dishwashers, empty lint
drawers on tumble dryers, defrost freezers regularly and repair seals on fridges and freezers if they break
