As the days are getting colder and the nights are getting darker, it’s that time of year to find the best ways of keeping warm in your home. With the current energy crisis, finding budget-friendly ways to do this is more important than ever. So, let’s dive into how you can keep yourself warm and cosy in your caravan parks Snowdonia.
Seal Windows & Doors
This may be obvious, but making sure all gaps are sealed around your home can make a big impact on the heat stored in a room. A good tip to carry is checking all areas of your home, under doors, window seals and any potential gaps elsewhere. If you do spot any holes, getting these sealed will stop any draft seeping through.
To allow fresh air to circulate through your home, leaving your windows or door open for at least 20 minutes a day can help air circulation and also ensure any virus leaves your holiday home, including Covid-19. Keep warm on your outdoor walks this Winter, great for your mental and physical health.
Insulation
Insulation is of course a great investment for your home, so checking availability for this will provide a significant advantage in keeping you warm throughout Winter. Unfortunately, poor insulation can lead to issues such as condensation, so considering the options of insulation will keep your holiday home warm and condensation free.
Although it’s an investment, underfloor heating is an option if you are looking to make upgrades to your home. This will truly help in the long run, keeping your holiday home warm and cosy throughout the seasons.
If you do have the heating on, avoid blocking any radiators in your holiday home. This will reduce the amount of heat emitted through the rooms, so by keeping a distance between furniture and radiators, you will definitely feel the difference.
Layer Up
High Tog Duvet
It’s time to fetch the 15 tog duvet out. During Winter, you want to feel warm and cosy getting into bed in the evening. So, switch your low tog duvet to a high level, keeping you warmer through the night.
Electric Blanket
For that extra level of warmth before setting off to sleep, grab yourself an electric blanket, keeping you toasty. These are fairly low cost to run, so it’s a great budget friendly option!
Thermal Clothing
Thermal clothing is also a great addition during the Winter months. These extra layers are great for keeping you warm for a longer period of time, plus most of them are moisture-wicking.
Prepare For Snow & Ice
Conducting a thorough analysis of your holiday home will ensure you note any issues prior to the Winter months. This could include roof maintenance, tiles, pipes and gutters. Ensuring that all these are cleared will reduce risk of any water damage approaching your home.
