Krish’s followers chimed in, in response to the suggestion.

“Or buy a two season quilt 15 Tog and not use any electricity at all,” one suggested.

Another said: “Just use a warm water bottle, free heating.”

Another said: “Go visit a friend or family and stay for breakfast lunch and dinner. Saves heating, food, and electricity.”

A number of people attested to Krish’s hack. One also recommended a heated blanket and said: “I did this. Oh my gosh, the best thing I’ve bought. It’s been my lifesaver especially when I had the flu.”

Another said: “I did that last year. I had one on my sofa, one on my bed, and one on the chair, so it was cosy but the house was cold.”

One wrote: “I do this! I’ve got a three-bed Victorian terrace with very high ceilings. There’s no point trying to heat the whole house so I bunker down in my bedroom in winter.”

Clean your appliances

One woman recently found her energy bill was 50 percent less after she discovered a crucial cleaning tip to slash costs. 

She explained cleaning her air conditioning unit saved a huge amount off the bill.

Keeping other items around the house clean helps them work more efficiently too. Keeping radiators dust free will keep costs lower.

Cleaning the boiler will help it work more efficiently, too.
