How to have your comfiest ever winter (with some easy improvements)

Cold nights are upon us, so you want to make sure comfort is 100% guaranteed with some handy expert advice and making sure you've got vital appliances (like the heating system!) totally sorted.

We’re in for a long, cold winter, so it’s more important than ever to make the experience as comfy as you can! These simple tips and easy upgrade ideas for around the house will make sure you keep yourself and your family cosy all through winter.

THE SMART CHOICE:
Natural Gas heating is a must-have in winter as it’s instant and continuous, and it doesn’t dry the air out either.

Our picks for appliances to give you that cosy experience this winter? These three:

1: A gas BBQ for alfresco dining all through the colder months

2: An outdoor gas heater for instant outside heat, so you can gather around for a wine and game of trivia after dinner.

3: For indoors, a Natural Gas fireplace is a good choice. While there’s the initial outlay, you save the labour of sourcing and carting around firewood, the long-term maintenance of a chimney, and all the messy hassle that comes with a traditional fireplace.

SERVICE, PLEASE!
Don’t wait until winter hits before you do your checks on appliances at home, or you might find yourself left out in the cold! In the freezing months ahead you want reliable heat, so support local gas specialists and small business owners (another feel-good move) by checking out the closest service options to you right here.

Don’t have gas connected? You can find out more here about getting the hook up. A lot of winter makeovers start with Natural Gas, so make sure installation is front of mind during any home renovation plans, whether small-scale or a massive overhaul.

IT’S TOOL TIME!
There’s nothing like a little home improvement to make your surroundings more luxurious! If you crack out the hammer and sort those niggling home jobs you’ve been leaving on the backburner, you'll generate a whole lot of warmth…and not just in your home, but in your heart too, when you look around and enjoy the glowing good feeling of a job well done. Plus, your place will be super impressive to show off when visitors pop around.

Carrying out some small upgrades like repairing the worn patio and adding a new natural gas BBQ, or simply filling the small holes in the walls with spackfilla, cleaning out the garage or any other job you can do with one trip to Bunnings, will make your place more comfy and cosy, literally, but make you more comfortable emotionally too.
