In summer, it can cost a lot to keep your home cool. Well, in winter, it can cost a lot to keep your home warm. What are some ways to keep the heat in and the cold out, along with keeping the heating bills down?
One good idea is to seal any cracks that may let cold air seep in and heat escape. These could be around your window frames. If you have air conditioning units that you leave in the window all year long, cover them well. Make sure you have a good seal around your door frame.
Move your furniture away from your vents or radiators so the heat is not blocked and there is good airflow. During the sunny hours of the day, keep your blinds and window curtains open so the sunshine streams into your home. This is a natural and free way to warm up your home. At the same time, at nighttime, make sure to close your window coverings. This will keep heat from unnecessarily escaping.
When you are home, warm some warmer clothes. Put on socks and a sweater. If you just wear a t-shirt and shorts, you are likely to increase the heat, which will cost more.
