Saving electricity can be difficult in winter.

Aluminum foil can help with this and with the heating costs and thus ensure warmer interiors.

Dortmund – Numerous consumers are afraid of a blackout in Germany and want to save electricity so that this does not happen.

However, this is not so easy, especially in winter – because very few people want to turn down the heating to save electricity and do without cozy warm interiors.

A home remedy therefore offers a solution to the problem - namely aluminum foil, reports RUHR24.

Save heating costs and electricity with aluminum foil: home remedies ensure warmer interiors

Apartments in old buildings and older houses often have poorly insulated walls.

As a result, the heat from the interior spaces is lost more quickly than in buildings with better insulation.

In order to fight this and save electricity, however, the whole house does not have to be re-insulated right away - because the household remedy aluminum foil not only ensures a better WLAN signal, but also makes the interior cozy.

reports.

This can be done with double-sided adhesive tape, for example.

Alternatively, the foil can be attached to a thin board or cardboard to make attachment less of a hassle.

If you opt for the second variant, it is advantageous to cut the whole thing in such a way that the homemade insulation can be attached to the radiator wall bracket.

The aluminum foil should then ensure that the warm air is reflected back into the room instead of escaping.
