Save on your bill thanks to the goose down comforter

Aug 05, 2022

This winter we will need to look for alternative methods to heating to be comfortable at home, both to save on bills and to comply with any new regulations.

Regarding savings, it is important to know that for every degree saved, a 7% reduction in the bill is estimated. Lowering the heating by a few degrees can therefore represent a real saving on the gas bill.

Let’s see together how to make the home more efficient and warm without high bills:

  1. Do not place obstacles in front of radiators to allow better heat distribution. You can use a reflective panel like aluminum foil behind radiators to increase insulation.

  2. Open windows only for short periods to avoid heat loss and close them well when it’s cold. During the day, leave curtains open to take advantage of solar heat.

  3. Close shutters and use heavy curtains in the evening to reduce heat loss to the outside. Also close the doors of unused rooms to keep heat inside.

  4. Seal gaps around doors and windows to prevent cold air from entering. You can use draft stoppers or roll up blankets to seal the gaps.

  5. Defrost refrigerators and freezers regularly to increase their energy efficiency. Also, make sure to place the refrigerator away from the oven to avoid additional energy consumption.

  6. Insulate windows with thick curtains or cling films to prevent heat loss.

  7. Check that your heating system is in perfect condition for optimal energy consumption. An inefficient boiler can increase consumption by up to 30%.

If you have followed all these tips but still need additional ways to heat your home, here are some extra ideas:

  1. Cover yourself well during digestion and before falling asleep, as the body can feel colder at these times.

  2. Hold a warm drink in your hands and cover your feet while sitting on the sofa to keep your extremities warm.

  3. Avoid drinking alcohol, as it lowers body temperature and can make you feel even colder.

  4. A hot shower or bath can warm the body and retain heat just after you get out of the water.

  5. Wear clothes made of warm and insulating materials like wool or fleece.

  6. Use the oven for cooking and leave it open after turning it off to spread heat in the room.

  7. Do laundry on the coldest days to take advantage of the heat emitted by the washing machine.

  8. Use warm and insulating bedding, such as goose down comforters or cashmere blankets, to keep warm during the colder months.

I hope these tips help you make your home warmer and more efficient during the winter.
