Alongside this, experts at Damart have also collated a list of clever ways to keep warm this winter which may in turn help to keep heating costs down a little.

Layer up your clothing

From layering your outfit up with thermals and cosy knitwear to opting for woolly socks and a warm pair of pyjamas, dressing for the season is essential when looking to cut down on heating costs.

It is said that we lose approximately 40-45% of our body heat through our head and necks, so cosy roll neck jumpers, hooded tops or even the addition of a hat and scarf could help with heat loss.

Keep moving


It may sound obvious, but simply keeping moving and walking about your home at regular intervals can help to boost your circulation and get blood flowing and muscles moving, which in turn helps to get your body temperature up.

Warm up before bed

From a hot water bottle under the covers to a pair of cosy pyjamas, getting yourself nice and warm before bed is important, but doesn’t need to be expensive. It can also help to regulate your body temperature which is known to aid a better night’s sleep.

Give your home a little TLC

Keeping up with smaller maintenance checks around the home can help to make your home more energy-efficient, which in turn means saving a few pennies here and there.

Simple tasks such as bleeding your radiators will help to ensure they’re working efficiently when you do come to turn them on. You may also want to switch off radiators in rooms you don’t use, such as spare bedrooms.

Draught-proof your home

Keep the cold air out and the warm air in by undertaking some draught-proofing DIY.

Consider items such as draught excluders, chimney caps, self-adhesive window strips, and remember to close doors to rooms that aren’t in use too, to help banish any chills!
