ALT Electric Blankets Are the best way to save money on heating. It is a lot cheaper to heat a person than a whole room or a house. Make sure you get a modern blanket with an automatic cut-off, timer and adjustable temperature settings.

ALT Timers and Damp If we never put our heating on we risk damp building up, as moisture cannot evaporate through the brick work. This leads to mould and health problems, Use the timer on your boiler to set your heating to come on for at least an hour in the morning or Evening.

ALT Air out your rooms for an hour once a week when the heating is off, possibly when cleaning so you don’t feel the cold as much. Also use the boiler timers if you need a burst of heat. Set it on for the next 45 minutes. That way it won’t keep using energy if you forget to switch it off.
