It is officially cold. We have already had two nasty cold snaps, this winter, and according to the the long-term weather forecast we are likely to experience a few more. So, I thought a quick tips post on staying warm was in order. Make sure that your heating system is fit for purpose If you have not already done so, get your boiler serviced. It will run far more efficiently and, more importantly, is far less likely to let you down. Trying to live without heating is no joke when there is snow on the ground. It is far better…
