As the days get shorter and the nights get colder, summer seems like a distant memory. With winter fast approaching some of us are faced with the worry that they may not be able to afford the gas and electricity to heat their homes through the cold winter months. But there are some tips that people can follow in order to cut on their home energy bills whilst keeping their homes toasty - without spending any extra money. 1. Dress for the winter weather This goes for inside your house and out. Rather than wearing a t-shirt in your house with the heating on, try adding a few extra layers for warmth. 2. Get a hot water bottle A hot water bottle can be lovely and comforting and provide warmth for hours on end for the cost of a kettle full of hot water. 3.
