As the weather cools down, many people will be switching their heating on to warm up.<\/p>\n
However, with the cost of living crisis continuing, it is likely Britons will be looking for ways to cut their energy bills.<\/p>\n
Rather than wearing thick jumpers and investing in a warmer duvet, there are a number of radiator tricks that could help keep costs down, according to British Gas engineer Sunny Solanky.<\/p>\n
By now, many people will have heard of this trick and it does work. According to Sunny, homeowners could save \u00a325 a year by fitting radiator foil or tin foil behind their radiators.<\/p>\n
Rather than hot air being blown at the wall, the foil will reflect it which means homeowners should waste less energy and therefore save money.<\/p>\n

If your radiator has cold spots then it has pockets of trapped air inside which means it needs bleeding.<\/p>\n The air pockets prevent the heated water from circulating. Allowing the trapped air to be released is a free, simple way to make your radiators work more efficiently.<\/p>\n Don’t miss… <\/strong> Heating all the rooms up in a house is a complete waste of energy and therefore money.<\/p>\n Instead, simply heat up the rooms you need. Sunny added: “It\u2019s important not to spend money heating spare rooms or other rooms not in use during the winter.<\/p>\n “So if you know a room isn\u2019t going to be used then make sure you turn the radiator off and close the door to stop cold air circulating through the rest of the house.”<\/p>\n Sofas, chairs, tables and other furniture placed against a radiator will block hit our from circulating around the property which will make a home feel colder.<\/p>\nMartin Lewis finally explains the best way to use your heating<\/h3>\n
