It could have been a nicer welcome back to the office this week but just like everyone else across the country we’re feeling the chill here at ECOutlet central as temperatures drop to below freezing. No fear though, we’re made of sturdy stuff and have contingency plans in place which we’re happy to share so everyone can keep cosy eco-friendly style over the next few months!
- Dress for the season, long-johns and an extra layer on top are winter wardrobe staples in the ECOutlet office and are magic for keeping you warm during chilly snaps.
- Hot Water Bottles are the snugly, old-fashioned option and taking one to bed means you don’t have to rely on keeping the bedroom radiators on all night.
- Up to 20% of all heat loss from a typical home is through ventilation and draughts. Draught proofing and draught excluders are an easy and cost effective way to avoid this heat loss.
- Keep curtains and blinds open during the day so the sun can naturally warm your home and closed at night to keep the cold air out and warm air inside.
- Bleed your radiators regularly to release air trapped inside and increase efficiency. Fitting a radiator booster or radiator panels will also increase efficiency by helping to circulate the warm air out into rooms.
