Winter warmers - tips for keeping cosy at a lower cost

With winter upon us, it's time to think about warming up the home. Getting the most out of your heating energy will help bring down the cost of keeping cosy.

Some simple tips:

• Seal up your draughty doors and windows
• Bump up your insulation to reduce the amount of heating you need
• Use your heating system wisely - for example, thermostats and timers on your heaters
• Trim your trees to let the sun's free heat in your windows
• Close your curtains before dark to keep the heat in
• Choose an energy efficient heating system
