Increasing heating bills can be overwhelming, so many people are looking for ways to reduce them. Dana Kayal, who is actively growing her TikTok account, shared a trick that everyone can do themselves. In this case, you need to prepare your windows properly.
Tiktoker advises how to lower heating bills
According to Dana Kayal, simple solutions are the best, but we often forget about them. This is true in this instance as well. TikTok emphasises that it's crucial to fully utilise nature's advantages during the autumn-winter period.
She suggested to her followers to remove mosquito screens from the windows. She believes they may block sunlight, which in turn could hinder the natural heating of rooms. Consequently, using radiators may become unnecessary.
She revealed that on sunny days, she doesn't use the stove before 4 PM, nor does she use electric heating. She also admitted that she chose a house with south-facing windows to take advantage of free solar energy, described in the comments as a brilliant and free trick.
Heat your home without using the radiator
Another way to reduce heating bills is to remove mosquito screens and adjust the fittings of the windows to winter mode. This reduces heat loss and allows for higher thermal efficiency. Switching windows to summer mode after the heating season is also recommended.
