Stay Warm – Hot Tips!

Stay Warm With These Hot Tips!

You need to stay warm – but do you worry about utility bills?

How much will it cost you to heat your home and stay warm this winter? It seems to get more expensive each year.

But it doesn’t have to. By making clever choices, you can save money while you stay warm – and live green!  Because heating your home is not only a major cost to you, but it also costs the Earth – it contributes to climate change.

Whether you stay warm via electricity to power your heating system, or oil, coal or wood, you’re emitting carbon. The more fossil fuels (oil, coal, gas) we use, the more we contribute to climate change.

It Makes Sense!

So it just makes sense to make smart choices and reduce the costs of staying warm and heating our homes – reduce the cost to ourselves, and to the planet.

So here’s a great infographic which  tells you about heating your home – how to stay warm but still save money and reduce your emissions.

After all, you spend money heating up your home – there’s no point in letting it go out through gaps around windows or elsewhere!

The second tip is about maintaining your heating system – and again, this is something that is easy and relatively cheap to do.

The 3rd tip uses technology to save you money while still staying warm, and of course it will also reduce your carbon emissions too.
