In Britain, as in most of the Northern hemisphere, we’re getting ready to bid farewell to those lazy, languid days of summer as we prepare to usher in the welcome mat for Jack Frost & Co. It is rather safe to say however, that our weather forecasters have not exactly been playing along with us of late and all predictions are that we can look forward to hotter summers but much more severe winters, too and that means that it’s time to do a quick check on your house to make sure that you home isn’t just winterproof against the cold, but that it’s well maintained and insulated to save you some money as well.
