We used to draughtproof our leaky sash windows with that cling film type stuff that you heated with a hair dryer to make it invisible* *T&Cs apply

Something we haven't talked about before. Secondary glazing installed in Didsbury — a brilliant way to draughtproof and soundproof original windows while preserving beautiful stained glass. #Manchester #homeimprovement #stainedglass

After energy prices quadrupled as a result of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine there was a renewed imperative in Britain to draughtproof properties. But not much has happened since econ.st/4c63JFM

4 poster bed with curtains, electric blanket. High backed armchairs, tapestries or fabric hangings on the walls (medieval people knew what they were doing with thermal comfort and radiant surface temperatures!) Draughtproof, switch to time of use energy tariff. Then heat pump.

Another insidious inequality - which I used to describe when running courses on Equality Issues - is ‘disparity in disposable income’. Example : 4 x admin officers, paid virtually the same, working in the same office. Time for a team outing, pizza and a few drinks. Of the 4, the youngest lives at home with parents, the next shares a flat with partner, the next is married and spouse also works, the eldest - single - shares the old family home and cares for an elderly parent. At the suggestion of a night out, the youngest 3 are enthusiastic but the eldest declines. The other 3 start saying ‘miserable sod’ and similar. None of the younger 3 understand that the eldest lives in a larger, older, poorly maintained property, that costs a fortune to heat and keep draughtproof. Constant maintenance bills are draining, the elderly parent has only a State Pension, care costs are high. The older employee basically can’t afford to eat out with the others, but is pilloried and excluded for being ‘miserable’. Hence “disparity in disposable income” and the negative attitudes and behaviour it engenders.

Keep your home warmer without increasing your energy bill 💸 🚪 Draughtproof your house, or at least close windows and doors between unheated rooms for savings of up to £120 per year. #energyefficiency #costofliving @PowerNI @NEANIreland

Thermos routine here still going strong after 12 months. Draughtproof windows with clingfilm in all edges. They use double glazing film. Instant results. Also pure wool blanket over window as curtain. Magic.

Tricky making that door draughtproof

Not much point doing 2) if ur not going to Insulate, draughtproof, ventilate change all radiators to lower Temp higher efficiency ones. Will all that be free too ? or will customers just be stuck with Bills costing them 3x current as elec is 3X price of gas kw/h currently.

Heat Pumps work perfectly well when used correctly. You can't just replace your Gas Boiler with one you have to insulate, draughtproof ventilate your house properly first then install lower Temp Radiators to deliver the heat. So if someone's heat pump costs More to run ......1/

Looking to draughtproof your keyhole :) the new Mini Magflap can be stuck on as well as screwed on and works really well :) made in the UK out of eco materials

British weather goes back and forth across the dew point so often that ventilation is rightly prioritised over insulation. Very difficult to get an old house draughtproof and still dry. Hence very gentle heating from an ASHP often isn't enough.

When will they fess up and admit the housing stock is not suitable? A new 'slum clearance' will ensue to build the insulated and draughtproof homes needed. Insulating existing may not work sufficiently. Look at cavity wall insulation problems in Wales.

In America you have 99% sash windows, very easy to come and brag about finding solutions. The solution with casement windows would be to leave it open a bit for the pipe and use a plastic kit to draughtproof the rest of the opening. There are solutions, just they're not practical

(1) You get $550 back in refunds (more if you are living with partner/kids) each year. (2) To reduce your bill, the first thing to do is to insulate and draughtproof. If that would create cashflow probs, demand a PACE scheme open to all

“If you draughtproof your door, you can hardly hear the reporters asking about dodgy PPE contracts…”

Important thread on how the new energy price cap will work. Still definitely worth looking to draughtproof your home and dig out the woolly jumpers 🧣
