Luckily, savvy shoppers have found a bargain to keep them toasty this winter.
The simple trick will keep you warm and can help you save money in the long run.
Shoppers are raving about the Russell Hobbs Electric Heater that is currently on Prime Day sale.
Instead of costing £24, it’s currently available for £16.99 for Amazon Prime members.
Not only is it a bargain price, but it’s also super cheap to use.
According to Chechatrade, it costs an average of £1.68 to buy one gas central heating for one hour – but this handy heater only costs 20 cents per hour on the lowest heating setting.
The small heater has two heat settings: 900 W to 1800 W and is so small that it does not take up any space in your room.
Russell Hobbs bosses say there is no problem heating rooms measuring 20 by 20 meters – the typical size of a front room or bedroom.
Not only this, but it also has overheating and tip-over protection plus a two-year warranty.
A bargain is essential during the winter months so you can have a good time without having to pay high energy bills.
Satisfied shoppers were quick to respond to the reviews, giving it an average rating of 4.3 out of five stars.
One person wrote: “Small and light in size. Kicks out Nice degree of heat when at full power. Brought for my freezing bedroom of about 8 x 8 meters. Heats the room wonderfully within minutes. I recommend this stove, good for the price.”
Another commented: “Very happy with the heating, gave us welcome warmth on cool days, no problems.”
“It heats the room instantly. It doesn’t use too much electricity. It’s portable and I move it around the room and house” wrote a third.
5 ways to keep your house warm in winter
Real estate expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.
1. Curtains
“Windows are a common place for the cold from outside to enter your home, this is due to small openings that can let air in, so always close your curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he said.
This simple method gives you an extra layer of warmth because it can provide a kind of “insulation” between your window and curtain.
2. Rugs
“Your floor is another part of your home where heat can be lost and make your home feel cold,” he continued. “On cold days you may notice that your floor is not pleasant to walk on because your feet are freezing.
“Add rugs to areas that don’t already have carpet. This will provide a layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room above.”
3. Check your insulation
Check your pipes, attic space, crawl spaces and under floorboards.
“Loose insulation is great for this, and it is a more affordable form of insulation, with a large bag being picked up for around £30,” explains Joshua.
4. Keep your interior doors closed
“Household members often congregate in one room in the evening, which is usually the kitchen or living room,” says Joshua.
“This means you only need to heat a small part of your home and closing the doors keeps the heat in and the cold out.”
5. Block drafts
Don’t forget to check cat flaps, chimneys and mailboxes as these can let in cold air if they are not properly secured.
Meanwhile, a fourth said: “Very small heater but easily heats a medium to large room.”
“10/10 best heating I’ve ever had,” claimed a fifth.
Someone else added: “This little heater does the job, in our bedroom. It heats the room quickly and switches off when it reaches the selected temperature. Looks neat and doesn’t take up much space.”
