Living expenses keep rising every year. What are some ways to keep warm but also keep your heating bill from becoming outrageous? Here are a few tips that might be helpful to you, whether you have a smaller or larger home.
Sealing up cracks and openings around doors and windows is important. You don’t want your pricey heat leaking out, and you don’t want cold air to unnecessarily find its way in. If you have older windows, consider winterizing them. Get some stylish area rugs to throw on your hard surface floors. This will help hold warmth in the rooms. If you have a ceiling fan, set it on a low speed going in a clockwise direction. Warm air tends to float to the ceiling, and this will help circulate it back down into the room.
During the day, take advantage of that warm sunlight. Open your blinds and curtains to let that sunlight stream in. But at night, cover up the windows so the heat doesn’t escape. And a super simple tip is to dress warmer! You may enjoy cranking up the heat and wearing shorts around the house, but why not wear those cozy sweatpants and slippers, and keep the thermostat lower.
