Heat the Human Not the Home - is this safe advice?

  • Summary

  • In todays episode myself and Sarah are discussing the notion of "Heat the Human not the Home". I've got to be honest I'm baffled by this advice, and worried it is now going to result in unnecessary cold related illness like COPD, Asthma, pneumonia. Living in a cold damp home surely cannot be something we are encouraging in 2022 its a step to far?! Influencers are now offering advice to consumers who can't afford to pay their energy costs since the price cap rise that they should consider buying a sleeping bag to sit in at home with a hot water bottle, to wear fingerless USB gloves, buy USB body warmers and electric person blankets, if they can't afford to heat their home. How safe is this advice? And who does it benefit really? We support the reduction of energy waste and changing consumer behaviour to the point of energy optimisation and heating the home to a safe level. However for me this is not the right advice. A warm home is not a luxury.
