Top Tips For Keeping Your Home Warm

While we are moving gradually toward Summer, the weather in the UK has been much colder than usual as of late, according to various reports. This, coupled with rising heating bills across the country, means that many people have struggled to keep their homes as warm as they’d like. 

In fact, a report from YouGov found that “more than a third of Britons cannot afford to heat their home to a comfortable level.” 

With that in mind, here are some simple ways to keep your home warm. 

Don’t neglect repairs. 

If your boiler system is broken or malfunctioning, you may be hesitant to arrange for it to be repaired due to the cost of this task. However, the longer repairs go untreated, the more extensive damage they cause, which means you could be increasing your bill significantly the longer you ignore the issue. Furthermore, there are plenty of companies, such as Horsforth Heating Solutions, which offer 

Boiler Installation, Servicing & Repairs for a fair price – meaning you won’t have to abandon your budgeting efforts to keep warm throughout the year. 

Switch to a renewable energy provider. 

While switching to a renewable energy provider is a great way to become more eco-friendly, it can also be a great way to lower your heating bills. This is because renewable energy is more sustainable and efficient, meaning you can keep your heating on for longer without worrying about how much this may cost you. 

Install double-glazed windows. 

Installing double-glazed windows is another great way to keep your home warm all year round. There are many reasons for this. Firstly, it provides you with extra insulation, which stops heat from escaping, especially during the winter months. As a result, this means that you do not have to turn your heating on as often. This is also the perfect example of a home improvement that will add value to your home, which is great news if you are considering moving house in the near future. 

Insulate your home. 

Finding new ways to insulate different areas of your home will also keep your home warmer (for obvious reasons). Fortunately, there are many ways in which you can approach this. For example, you could insulate your loft (an area through which plenty of heat escapes your home) using glass-fibres rolls and blankets. This is an easy DIY approach to home heating woes, as “this kind of insulation is designed to fit in between and above joists and roof trusses and even within walls, making it very easy to work with.” 

Decorate with throws and blankets. 

Sometimes, the easiest way to ensure you keep your home warm is to make the space as cosy and comforting as possible. For example, by decorating different spaces in your home, such as your lounge, with a range of throws and blankets, it’s easier than ever to layer up when you feel a chill sitting in. This is also a great yet inexpensive way to decorate your home, as you can choose blankets and throws that show-off your unique tastes and style.
