Just an Energy Tip. by ladymagpie

Just an Energy Tip.

This is not posted as a fantastic photograph capture. but as a useful tip for us pensioners and people worried about the costs of energy, not just now, but in the future.

If you have a glass porch or a conservatory, remember to open the door as soon as the sun comes out. Every day for the past 7 days I have increased my lounge temperature by 2 to 3 degrees.

Now I call my glass extension a porchary or a conservatwa, because it's too big for a porch and too small for a conservatory. You will need to keep an eye on the sunlight to close the door if it goes in for some time, your room will then contain the extra heat for a good period.

Hope that idea helps and keep smiling.
Heeellllooooo Heather! Hope you are fine! Good to see you around!
Thanks for the tip.
On sunny days I also take my pillow and blanket out in the sun and when the sun gets down, I take them back in with a bit of warmth.

That's a great tip Lady M. WE have a garden room, it sounds a bit posh but it's a part of the living room that sticks outing the garden and has windows on 3 sides. When the sun shines it makes a huge difference to the temperature inside the living room.
Good to see you back, I've missed you and wondered if you were ok.

@susiemc Hi Sue, I'm okay at the moment but my health has been very poor, including a visit for 3 hours from an ambulance crew, I didn't call them. Unfortunately I can't get out and about like I did so it's ruining my photograph hobby. But HaHo I;m still here.

I’m with you Heather! Since we moved in & renovated out bungalow we have noticed the extraordinary advantage of having a south facing glass sided living area. It gets so warm during the day when the sun shines…free heat! Take care & look after yourself!

I would love to have a room like that! Good advise!

A good tip for people living in the UK. Sorry to hear you aren't too well at the moment, hope you feel better soon.

Good Health to you, Heather.

The roll by the door reminds me of the house I owned in Southern Arizona. Had shag carpet and the previous owner cut one inch off the bottom of the living room door (there was a screen door). Cold breezy in the winter.
