The 50-year-old explained that his team has done research into how to keep warm and how to save people money during the ongoing cost-of-living crisis, but added that it was “depressing” that they had to do the research because people can’t afford to use their heating.

“As it turned out the research that we did has been really useful, not just for people who are in desperate states... but for many who just want to reduce their central heating,” he said.

Martin Lewis tips to keep home warm

Use curtains to your advantage

Lewis explained that on a warm day when sunlight is coming through the windows, people should keep their curtains open to use the sunlight to heat their home.

Lewis said: “When the sun is shining it’s letting light and heat into the house, so you want the curtains open. When it gets dark it’s not, you want to keep the heat in so close the curtains.”

This is a simple way to keep your home warm free of charge.
