Keeping warm in winter

Keeping warm during the colder months can be difficult, so here are some simple tips to help maximize the heat in your home.

• Ensure radiators are not blocked by furniture so heat can circulate throughout the room
• Use heating controls to heat rooms you are using when needed
• Close your curtains when it’s dark and put them behind the radiators
• Thicker or thermal curtains can help reduce heat loss
