“You can put them behind radiators and they can bounce the heat back into the space, so you’re not losing some of that heat generated into the actual wall itself.”
Mr Pearson also suggests bleeding radiators, external to remove trapped air and maintain even distribution of heat.
Although there are lots of plug-in heaters on the market, Mr Trapp warned that these can often be more expensive than using central heating.
“People get tempted by them because they look like they’re smaller, so you expect them to use less energy, but they’re actually a lot less efficient,” he said.
Changing your energy tariff can save you money by switching to a cheaper fixed deal, a discounted variable tariff or a time-of-use tariff like economy, which offers cheaper electricity at night.
