Now that temperatures are dropping and evenings are drawing in, I am on a mission to keep my energy bills as low as possible. So I've been adopting the Martin Lewis approved 'tactical' curtain rule for more than three years, and can confirm it's an absolute game-changer for chilly nights.
When it's cold and dark as I settle down to relax in the evening, it's all too tempting to pop my central heating on for another hour for an extra dose of warmth. But heating your whole house in this way is definitely not the best approach to save energy at home, and to lower your energy bills.
