Come the winter, come the cold weather. However, trying to find ways to keep the heat in your home is pretty hard to achieve but there are ways to minimise the seeping of warmth out of the home.
We are all very much aware of the rising cost of fuels. Rather than turn up that massive bill for heating, what can you do to reduce the heat you put in in the first place?
One of the most surprising places for heat loss is your ceiling lights. Downlight Covers from https://www.thermahooddirect.com/ help to channel the heat from ceiling lights so that they are pushed down into the room. As your lights blaze away, including low energy ones, they generate heat and this can be harvested. Seeing as how you are going to have them on anyway you might as well get a double use out of them.
There are three primary ways that heat escapes from the house. The first way is through the windows. The first response is to look at getting double glazing and if you are really committed you can get triple glazed.
The second way is through the main doors. This is the problem of draughts. The windows are covered by the double glazing but the gap under the door is not. The use of a draught excluder is a very good idea.
Finally there is the attic. Hot air rises and if it has a cold space to go to it will try and warm it. This means the radiators are working overtime to try and generate the warmth to do it. Lagging and insulating the loft means that the warm air hits the ceiling and stops.
