The purchase of € 19.99 IMMEDIATELY heats all the cold corners of your house
With energy bills set to rise AGAIN this winter in a “disappointing” blow to millions of households, many Brits will do whatever they can to keep prices down.
Prices were expected to fall in January, easing the burden on struggling bill payers. Cornwall Insight suggested prices would fall to £1,697 from the current £1,717, but now says they will rise 1% to £1,736.

Energy consultancy experts said forecasts indicate prices are expected to remain “relatively high for the rest of the winter”.
However, it’s important to remember that these are just predictions and Ofgem will reveal the actual price cap for January on Friday.
But with energy prices continuing to skyrocket and the weather only getting colder, many homeowners and renters are desperately looking for ways to keep their bills as low as possible.
And many smart savers are enthusiastic about a small gap that will help warm every cold corner in your home.

It is portable and, according to many users, a lot cheaper than turning on the heating.
The GoHeater LED can be purchased from the likes of Amazon and EasyLife.co.uk for £19.99.

The product is described as ideal for bedrooms, studies, offices, hotel rooms or fresh corners.
The functions include a programmable digital control panel with adjustable temperature settings and a 12-hour automatic stop timer, which “costs just a few pennies to use.”
One fan, who goes by the name of ‘creativelifeofmst’ on TikTok praised the small electric heating.
She said: “I’m so pleased we got this small energy efficient plug-in heater to heat our hallway, stairs and landing.
“It heats up to 250 square meters, so it has quite a bit of power, even though it is only 500 watts.
“It is programmable up to 12 hours.
“We currently have it set to 20 minutes on high speed.

“There’s also a lovely little nightlight in there that changes color and yes, it meets British CE standards.”
Another fan rushed to the comments section of her video and said, “I bought two of these that are great and give off a lot of heat.”
Someone else asked: “How much does an hour of running cost?”
To which the ‘creativelifeofmst’ replied: “It cost us about 3 cents for 20 minutes because I only turned it on for short bursts when necessary. I’m not sure if that helps.”
How do I calculate my energy bill?
BELOW we show you how you can calculate your own energy bill.
To calculate how much you pay for your energy bill, you need to know your unit rate for gas and electricity and the standing charge per fuel type.
The unit rate is usually stated in p/kWh on your invoice. The fixed charge is a daily rate that is paid 365 days a year, regardless of whether you use gas or electricity.
You must then record your own annual energy consumption from a previous bill.
Once you have this information, you can calculate your gas and electricity costs separately.
Multiply your consumption in kWh by the unit price in p/kWh for the corresponding fuel type. This is how you get your consumption costs.
You must then multiply each standing charge by 365 and add this figure to your usage totals. This is how you get your annual costs.
Divide this amount by 12 and you can determine how much you have to pay each month from April 1.
