Households need to save every penny as the unprecedented cost-of-living crisis sees energy bills soaring despite the Government's price guarantee being in place. With freezing weather blitzing the UK, people need all the help they can get as their gas and electricity costs have soared by 27 per cent since October.
The Express reports that an engineer from British Gas has shared advice on the “little things” that people can do to reduce their energy bills in the short term. Sunny Solanky, who works for the energy supplier as an engineer in the Leicester area, said that the “little things we can all do can make a big difference” when it comes to saving money and conserving energy.
Mr Solankly highlighted acts like drawing blinds and curtains, and using items such as foiled-wrapped cardboard to help reduce costs. He said: “It's quite simple. Put draught excluders under doors when the heat is on. Close blinds and curtains because you lose a lot of heat through your windows.
