How can you prevent heat loss?
Most of the heat in your home is lost through the ceiling and oors. The best way to prevent heat loss is to insulate your home, and this will help reduce heating costs. Insulation traps heat in your house which means your heater doesn’t have to work as hard to warm the place up so it’ll use less energy.
It also works in summer since insulation stops movement of heat, so when it’s hot outside, that’s where the heat stays.
Some other simple ways to prevent heat loss:
- Ensure your curtains cover the window and there are no gaps.
- Make sure windows and doors are sealed properly.
