8 Ways To Keep Your Home Warm

Windows

*Find and put up storm windows. (Storm windows can reduce heating cost by as much as 15%)

*Open blinds or curtains during the day and close them during the night.

*Use Caulk, Weather stripping or Bubble Wrap

Bubble Wrap may not be the prettiest but it is cost effective and reusable:

Cut to window size, adhere with a film of water sprayed onto the window and press into place.

To remove just peel off, it leaves no mess.

Thermostat

*Keep at 68° during the day.

*Turn it down to 55° at night or when you are not home.

*Are you forgetful? Invest in a programmable thermostat.

Save up to 50% on your heating bill by lowing your thermostat.

Vents

*Move Furniture away from vents.

*Place Shallow Pans of water close to vents.

Moist air makes you feel warmer than dry air.

Rugs

*You can lose a lot of heat thru your hardwood floors.

Use area rugs to help trap heat.

Ceiling Fans

*Put your ceiling fan on reverse to pull cold air out of the room.

Light Candles

*Not only do candles look nice and cut down on electricity they also put off heat.

Doorways

*Block doorways of unused rooms by shutting the door or hanging a curtain in the doorway.

Clothes

*Bundle up! I know it seems like a no-brainer, but use a blanket, put on a sweater.

It’s all about being comfortable in your home.

The house doesn’t care if it’s a little chill, but to the same degree don’t freeze yourself out.

Make yourself comfortable.
