What can you do to keep yourself and your family warm during the Winter months?  We here at WRB Gas have come up with five of our top tips to help you stay warm and even save yourself some money while doing so!

1. First and foremost, be sure to have your heating serviced before the beginning of winter.  This way any developing faults can be dealt with before they become a problem.

2. If you have trouble getting out of a warm bed on those cold winter mornings, try setting your heating to come on in time to heat your house up before you wake up.

3. In addition to turning your heating on early, ensure your house is sufficiently warm throughout the day.  For households with elderly or infirm occupants, temperatures of 23C in the living room and 18C in all other rooms should be maintained for 16 hours a day.  Other households require only 21C in the living room and 18C in other rooms for 9 hours each weekday and 16 hours on weekends.

4. Rather than relying on one thick layer of clothing, wear several layers.  Multiple layers of clothing trap warm air and this can help to keep you warm.

5. Properly insulating and draught proofing your home can help you save on your heating bill, especially during the chilly winter months.
