Winter Energy Saving Tips
Set your heater to the best temperature Try to keep your heater between 18°C and 20°C degrees. Putting your heater higher can use more energy! Keep doors closed Close doors in your home to keep the heat in. You can also cover the bottom of the doors with draft stoppers to stop the cold air coming inside. Use the sun If it is a sunny day, open your curtains or blinds to let the sun in; but remember to close them at night to keep your home warm.
