Many of us are in for a difficult winter as a result of the prolonged conflict in Ukraine's impact on energy prices. Where it is safe and practical, the government is requesting that people lower their thermostats and think twice before using larger appliances.

Finding more ways to stay warm and comfortable has never been more important. Having more than one heating system helps to minimise costs or at least spread the cost. I use a mixture of oil-fired central heating, a solid-fuel stove and a few electric heaters.
