SEASONAL TIPS Keep the cold out as winter approaches by:

Draught proofing

Reduce winter heat loss by up to 25 per cent by filling gaps around your home, using weather seals around doors and windows, and installing draught stoppers on exhaust fans.

Insulation

Stop heat escaping from your home by installing or topping up ceiling, wall and floor insulation. Good insulation can reduce your home’s heat loss in winter by 50-80 per cent.

Energy-efficient appliances

The more stars an appliance has, the more energy efficient it is and the cheaper it is to run. Choose a model that suits your climate and household size.
