It’s that time of year the clocks have gone back, the mornings & evenings are darker, and it is getting a lot colder and trust us, in Buxton it gets COLD and boy are we feeling it here at World of Power HQ.

In this current climate we are all trying to find the best and most cost-effective ways to keep warm, whether that be within our homes, workplaces, workshops, or garages. Which is why we want to help you make the best decision when it comes to choosing your source of heat!

But first, the most important job is to make sure you choose the right heater which will provide you with enough heat output and warm up your desired space. To do this there are a few little pieces of information you need to gather to ensure you purchase the correct product.

Depending on the area you wish to heat, you need to know the following

Is your chainsaw ready for action or is it still in hibernation from last winter?

Now is the perfect time to give your chainsaw some TLC especially if it’s not seen any action for a while.  We know how important chopping logs as a source of heat is going to be this winter, so if like most of us you haven’t used your saw for several months, then now may be a good time to break it out of hibernation and check if it is ready for tackling the jobs ahead.

The first and most important advice we can give is do not start your chainsaw if it was stored with last year’s fuel in the tank! Drain this immediately and refuel with a good quality fresh 2-stroke/Petrol mix (please check out our recent Blog- Let’s Talk Fuel, which emphasizes the

After the lovely hot spell the UK basked in over the summer, the last thing that we want to be concerning ourselves with is the final grass cut of the season and putting the lawn mower to bed for the year. This however will be upon us before we know it so please take a moment to read our no-hassle guide and top tips for storing your lawn mower this winter; whether it be petrol, electric or even the cordless models.

The last cut…

The last regular cut of the season will usually be in the colder months of Mo-vember! At this time of the year the temperature will fall and the growth of the grass will slow down. You will need to bear in mind to never cut grass with frost on. If it sounds crunchy underfoot you should not be mowing as it will damage the grass. Grass will begin to start growing at 5°C so once the warmer weather returns towards the end of March this will be the perfect time to start mowing and maintaining your lawn again.

With winter fast approaching, the log burner / open fire / fireplace will soon be roaring keeping us warm through the cold months. It’s obvious that burning logs can dramatically lower your heating bills, buying logs in bulk, cutting your own from larger cuts or foraging for logs can reduce your bills even further. When you have a wood stove installed in your home, you also need to think about wood storage solutions.
