Simple Life’s Festive Keep Warm Tips

PREP THE OVEN:
Christmas is the time of year when families really cook up a storm together, so remember to check that your oven is fully working, well in advance of Christmas Day!

STAY SNUG THIS SEASON:
The nights are drawing in and winder is well under way. To keep everyone toasty in your Simple Life home, adjust your heating timer to match your festive schedule.

REVISIT YOUR BOILER GUIDE:
We know how easy it is to loose those pesky bits of paper, so head over to the My Simple Life app to find your boiler manual.

Here’s some top tips for winter:

• Setting your programmer will enable you to have the house warming up before the morning alarm clock goes off, or before you return home from work.
• Adjust individual radiator temperatures to suit your needs for each room and keep your energy bills in check.
• To prevent your water pipes freezing while you’re away during cold weather, make sure your heating is set to come on at a low heat for a few hours every day.
• If you have an outside tap, it is best to switch this off under the kitchen sink in cold weather and release any residual water to prevent the pipe freezing.
• Be careful of icy steps and driveways and use grit if needed.

BEAT THE BIG FREEZE:
Heading off for a Christmas break?
To stop your waste pipes freezing over whilst you are away, make sure your heating still comes on at a low heat for a few hours every day.

WATCH YOUR STEP:
Icy paths can be a menace at this time of year, so if possible, using the grit bins on your development, grit your driveways and nearby roads.
