Winter Is Here! Is Your Heating System Up To The Job? Affordable Heating Grants and How To Make Money On The Toilet!

BBC Radio Ulster - On Your Behalf, Winter Is Here! Is Your Heating System Up To The Job? Affordable Heating Grants and How To Make Money On The Toilet!

Home heating problems, fridges and electrical safety this Christmas.

A woman left with cold feet after her boiler conversion, flammable fridges and staying safe when you're putting up your Christmas lights.

Winter is here! Is your heating system up to the job? We talk to a Derry/Londonderry woman who was left with cold feet after her oil to gas conversion. Patrick Thompson of the Energy Saving Trust will be live in the studio to comment. Also, have you got your Christmas tree up yet? Phil Buckle of Electrical Safety First gives us top tips when setting up our lights and decorations this festive period. Plus what is on the back of your fridge - The Consumer Association say the plastic backing on fridges are not fit for purpose and that the regulations need to be changed. And keeping children safe, you wouldn't give your child a dangerous toy nor would you let a stranger walk through the front door and up to your child's bedroom, but online we open the door to strangers in the virtual world... Ken MacDonald of the Information Commissioner's Office lets us know what you can do to keep your children safe. And finally, how to make money on the toilet! Jasmine Birtles of MoneyMagpie.com tells us of the wonderful way we can reuse, recycle and reap the benefits!
