Struggling family forced to wear head torches at night and use heating once a week as bills double
19.11.2022 - 18:09 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A family has been forced to adopt a strict 'no electricity at home' policy in their home amid the cost of living crisis as they alternatively use head torches to see in the dark and only turn on the heating once a week. Chadvar Todorov, 53, came up with the budget policy in order to save some crucial pennies on their rising household bills which have left thousands of families struggling to make ends meet.
Chadvar says he established the rules and asked his wife Moda, 49, and their children Teo, 14, and Nicole, 20, to follow them too in a bid to cut back on their energy usage after their bill doubled in price to £320 a month. He also introduced the idea of using head torches to avoid turning on the lights at their home as the daylight hours decrease in winter, Coventry Live reports.
The family of four aim to save as much as they can on their electricity costs to reduce their annual bill which currently totals to £3,800. They are also putting restrictions on their heating as they only turn radiators on once a week and spend the rest of the time wrapping up in jackets and blankets to stay warm.
Their head torches which turn on and react to movement, are used in the night time to get around in the dark. Moda, a yoga teacher from Barnet, London, said: “We’re trying to think positive but it’s hard.
“We used to pay £140 a month and in June it shot up to £320. I don’t put the heating on if I’m home alone and just keep my jacket on.
"My husband came up with the funny idea of using head torches. We keep the lights off and use our head torches but it’s scary and I don’t feel as safe.
"There have been a lot of burglaries in our area. We light candles and try and make it romantic.”
Moda who is originally from Bulgaria moved to the UK
