Save money and do some good for the world around you by using simple measures to conserve energy in the home. If you’re not sure where to start – don’t worry! We’ll be bringing you one great energy-saving tip every day for the next few weeks.
Warm Up On The Cheap
When the evenings are cold it can be very tempting to just leave the heating on non-stop but continually heating your home can have a seriously damaging impact on your heating bill and your finances.
If you’re trying to save money but don’t want to sacrifice on your warmth, why not try the cheap option and invest in a hot water bottle?
A hot water bottle will only set you back a few euro and it’s the perfect way to stave off the chills on a freezing cold night.
Before you hit the hay or if you’re shivering on the sofa, simply turn on the kettle, pour the water into your bottle then cosy up under the covers or under a blanket on your sofa.
Believe it or not but once you’re near something warm your body temperature will automatically rise, so think of it as saving money by investing in your own inner heating system.
