A woman who says that she was unable to switch on the heating in her own home for four years revealed the secrets to cutting energy usage. Klaire De Lys shared a selection of energy-saving tips along with an everyday household item that helped her to save in a video on her TikTok page, @Klairedelysofficial.
Klaire who lives in the UK has also claimed to have had no hot water for a year previously reports Derbyshire Live. She told her thousands of followers on social media that: "One of the things that I do every winter, is whenever I'm cooking in the oven, or at least at the beginning of winter, what I do is I get three bricks and I put them on a stand like this.'

"I just use one of those wire cookie trays, just one from Poundland, they're not expensive and put the bricks on top of it. The reason I put bricks in the oven is because those bricks heat up during the cooking."
"Then when you're finished cooking and you've turned everything off and opened the door, those bricks are hot and will keep the heat a lot longer than the actual oven.
"It might only be an extra 15/20 minutes of heat radiating out but when you don't have any kind of central heating, those 20 minutes make a huge, huge difference."
Klaire did however warn that you should ensure the bricks are not wet, as this could cause an accident. She also said not to use stones or rocks, as these could explode if exposed to extreme heat.
