warm a room in up to half the time, allowing the boiler to shut down
sooner, saving heating time and cost - for a running cost of about 30p a
year! It's adjustable in size, has a built in thermostat and could save
an average household between £70 and £140 per year.
We've teamed up with Nigel's Eco-Store to offer Moneymagpie readers the opportunity to pick one up for the knock-down price of £16.99

stocks last). The weather might be warm now, but with energy prices due
to rise by as much as 20% this summer you'll be glad you made this
purchase come winter! Get yours here.
