How to enjoy huge savings on your energy bills this Winter

Kaycee Cooper, Resident Service Manager at Grainger’s stylish Millet Place shares her top three tips to cut down the energy usage in your apartment between now and Christmas, leaving more spending money for gifts.

Energy efficient bulbs

“If you’re looking to keep your apartment bright throughout the darker months, save money on electricity bills by switching to energy saving light bulbs for your lamps. Energy-efficient lamps will help to lower electricity bills and CO2 emissions, without reducing the quality of light in your home.”

Seasonal bedding

“Swap out your cool cotton or linen bedding for a plush teddy or fleece duvet to keep you warm and cosy this winter, which in turn will allow you to use your heating less and keep electricity bills down.

“Warm, thick bedding is a simple and easy way to transform your bedroom into a cosy haven – but we can’t promise it will be easy to get out of on a morning!”

Turn to texture

“Textured rugs, blankets and throws are a great way to naturally warm up your apartment and save on your electricity bill. Large patterned and textured rugs can add character to your apartment and warm up typically cold wooden floors. If you’re looking to spend cosy nights in without cranking up the heating, curl up on the sofa with a large, knitted blanket or throw and enjoy a night in front of your favourite box set.
