Something as simple as closing our blinds or curtains when it is dark can help to make a big difference. ‘In winter months we have around  6-8 hours of daylight, on average, which means for the other 18 hours of the day we should consider keeping our curtains and blinds shut,’ Helen explains.
And ‘if you’re not going to be home during the day, consider keeping your curtains closed as this will help retain the heat throughout the day for when you come home.’ This should save you some money on your central heating bills.
