A woman has shared her little-known trick to keep your home warm after claiming to have lived without heating for four years while saving thousands of pounds.

TikTok user Klaire de Lys explained the unique hack she swears by to use "as little electricity as possible" as the cost of living crisis continues to pile the pressure on UK homeowners.The social media user told her followers that if you put bricks in your oven, on top of a cheap tray like one you can grab from any discount store, you can keep your home warm for just that little bit longer, The Mirror reports.Klaire explained that because the bricks retain heat from the oven, you can then use them to keep the warm air circulating throughout your home.

The TikToker warned that you should only put bricks in your oven, and not just random heavy rocks, as anything but bricks could explode in the appliance and cause a lot of damage.Sharing her hack on the social media platform, Klaire said: "Today's video is another tip on how to stay warm if you're using as little electricity as possible.

And one of the things that I do every winter is, whenever I'm cooking in the oven - or at least just at the beginning of winter - what I do is I get three bricks and I put them up on a stand like this."She then showed the three bricks sitting atop of a small wire baking tray in her oven.
