With the combination of high electricity costs and power outages, it goes without saying that cold fronts will be more brutal than ever. Not too worry, we’ve compiled a list of cheap ways to keep warm, even during load shedding.


1 Cold air can easily leak into your home through the smallest and most unexpected places. So INSULATE!

  • Keep keys inside keyholes

  • Block the gaps in window frames

  • Block the gaps beneath doors

  • Cover the floor with carpets/throws to insulate the tiled floors


2 After insulating your home, ‘insulate’ your body by:

  • Wearing base layers such as vests

  • Wear jerseys and jackets

  • Wear long pants

  • Roll up those socks!

  • Slippers too


3 Heat Energy

  • Motion is a good way to keep your body warm

  • Do light exercises to keep your body warm (30 minutes or more should do)

  • After your exercise, keep your feet off the ground because it's the coldest nearest to the ground.


4 Gas is an effective way of heating up your home

  • Gas heaters produce more heat than traditional electric heaters

  • Gas heaters consume less energy
