Heating expert says £3 kit will warm your home without turning thermostat up
As the cold weather continues to creep in, people are looking for ways to keep their homes warm this winter without having to rack up expensive energy bills.
With many of us feeling the cold pinch, many homeowners are wondering when the right time to put the heating on will be. However, one expert has revealed a cheap and easy way to warm your home up this winter.
As bills are still high, many will be reluctant to take the plunge, but this £3 kit is ideal for those hoping to keep the condensation away - and the heat in.
For those without double glazing, this £3.25 insulation kit is easy to install and will ensure to keep draughts away and banish condensation too. With the kit, all you need to do is line your windows with double-sided tape and then cover your window with the plastic film. Then you need to shrink the plastic and seal it with a hairdryer so it's snug and fit to your window and will help trap the heat inside.
Keeping our homes warm is important over the winter months and windows can cause issues with heat retention, so it's important to keep them well insulated. Experts at Green Match explain why window filming is a good idea and explain: "The heat transfer from your radiators and fireplaces all contribute to the warmth in your home, so it’s a real issue when a lot of it is lost through your glass windows. Window film insulation prevents that heat from escaping to form another seal on your windows, projecting the heat flow back into the room.

"One thing that insulating window film can really help you save money on, is your energy bills and your overall energy costs throughout the year. The energy savings are generated by reducing the amount of warmth lost through your glass pane window and increasing the overall insulation of your home. Considering insulation window film is so cheap, this is an investment that will pay for itself very quickly."
As the plastic film traps the heat in, not only will it make your rooms feel warmer, but it will stop the build-up of condensation forming - something that can cause some nasty health issues if left untreated. You can pick up an insulation kit from Amazon for just £3.25, as well as home wear stores such as B&Q and Wickes.
Shoppers were quick to review their kit, as one person wrote: "Good buy. Well priced, and quite easy to install. A good amount of double-sided tape is included. Quite effective but make sure it's airtight when installing and there are no edges not fixed in place," while another added: "Purchased this as a last resort to deal with the momentous amount of condensation I was dealing with every day! Didn't hold out much hope but was pleasantly surprised. This has made a massive difference and would highly recommend."
