Instead of having the heating on all day long, I complement my heating schedule with this one thing that keeps me cosy

Cosy living room with open fire and modern fireplace.

While we've seen some milder temperatures for this time of year recently, but with today being the shortest day of the year, the few daylight hours means our home's have to work even harder to keep us warm.

With many of us planning on entertaining at home this Christmas, having a space that feels warm and welcoming, in the most energy efficient way, will be a top priority. For most homes, it won't be cheaper to leave the heating on all day, but fortunately I have a sure fire way to avoid those cold spells between when you're heating comes on, and if you are tactical about how you use it, it could help keep your energy bills under control over the festive season too.
