Save Energy

• Close doors and windows when the portable heater is on.
• Turn portable heaters down or off in rooms that are not being used.
• Draw curtains promptly at dusk to better insulate your room.
• Keep the portable heater clear of other furniture and objects for safety and to allow better convection.
  

• Fit draught excluders on doors and fill gaps between floorboards and under skirting boards.
• Do not block any ventilators or air bricks gas appliances need fresh air to operate efficiently.
• Loft insulation is a must for any house. At least 100mm thickness should be used.
• Double glazing can be expensive but remember it helps soundproof as well as insulate your home.
