There are better ways to keep warm than simply turning up the heating. Here’s how to make your house or flat more energy-efficient – and stop the heat leaking away
This winter is expected to be particularly challenging for UK households, thanks to steep rises in energy bills and other essential costs.

So it is more important than ever to plan ahead to make your home warmer and more energy-efficient. Here’s what you can do now – from simple DIY changes to more expensive measures.
