In order to keep your home warm during the day it is important that your main living area is heated to around 18-21 C, the rest of the rooms within the home should be around 16 C. It is important that you keep all of the rooms you are using warm throughout the day and before going to bed you should make sure that you heat the bedroom.

If you are one of the many people, who particularly feel the cold during the night time, then there are lots of products on the market to keep you warm. Electric blankets are just one of the products you could consider in order to keep the cold at bay, however, it is important that you remember, never to use a hot water bottle and an electric blanket together, as this could lead to electrocution. Some electric blankets are designed for use whilst you are in the bed, whilst others are only for warming the bed before getting in.
