How to check for draughty windows and save on your heating costs this winter ;)
Hi Neighbour!
This month’s Tip from Exceed - As the cooler weather arrives it’s a good time to check that all your windows and doors seal tightly. If the friction stays or catches have become loose your windows won’t seal effectively, causing draughts and letting warm air out.
Depending on which kiwi power company you are with, winter power bill figures can double if not triple over the colder months. Before you know it, you are asking yourself how you have consumed so much electricity to the point where you can no longer afford your electric bill.
Before you panic, Exceed is here with a quick tip that could help you identify draughty windows and save on your electric bill this winter season. Jump onto our website blog to read more:

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
