Gareth Wordingham, customer product and innovation lead at Guernsey Electricity, said: “If you’ve got a problem with affordability do give us a call, we’d much rather help you than have you sitting at home shivering.”
He also offered some tips on how to keep heating costs low.
Wordingham said: “If you’ve got a small heater, they’re cheap to buy but they can be really expensive to run, so if you’re not in the room that they’re being used in, make sure you turn them off.
“Make sure you’ve got rid of any drafts and and the curtains are tucked behind the radiators so that the heat comes into the room and isn’t trapped between the wall and the curtains.”
