The cold months are finally here. As much as you love the cool breeze, it’s still important to have a properly heated home. Here are 10 hacks to keep your house warm by That Property Guy UK.
1 – Bleed your radiators
Bleeding your radiators will help them run efficiently. This will get rid of the air pockets that stop hot water circulating in your central heating system.
2 – Give your radiators a boost with reflector foil
Use reflective foil to reflect heat into the room.
3 – Thermostatic valves
Use a thermostatic valve if you haven’t already. It will control the room temperature by adjusting the water flow according to temperature changes.
4 – Automate your thermostat
Program your thermostat so you are not wasting heat throughout the day.
5 – Close windows and blinds
If you don’t have blinds or curtains in your room, get them. They will help keep the heat inside your space.
6 – Give your radiators some space
Do you have furniture near your radiators? Move them away from radiators to stop them from absorbing heat.
7 – Insulate walls, pipes, and loft
Install some insulation in your home. This will slow the movement of heat and keep your home warmer in winter.
8 – Draught proof windows
Stop cold air from coming in by installing draughtproofing around windows and doors. This means filling the gaps in your house where heat escapes and cold air enters.
9 – Rugs aren’t just for show
A rug can definitely make your space look better, but it can also give you comfort during cold days. It will keep your feet warm if you have hardwood or tiled flooring.
10 – Give your oven some overtime
Do you love to bake desserts or use your oven to make some dinner? Turn the oven off when you finish cooking or baking, but leave the door open to keep your house warm.
