Inexpensive Ways to Keep Your House Warm

If you are worried about the high cost of utilities and you know you’ll be needing to save heat this fall and winter, there is no need to stress. Our team knows that every penny counts and we want to help you conserve heat and energy. Save money and preserve heat as temperatures cool down by heat-proofing your home with the tips listed below.

• Use your curtains and window coverings to your advantage by allowing sunlight in during the day and closing out the cool temps at night. At sundown, close your windows and window coverings to keep in the heat. Double up on curtains for extra protection from heat loss and to prevent draughts.
• Check on the condition of your insulation and make any repairs necessary to be sure that you are not losing heat through the roof and walls. Be sure that you have adequate insulation between your roof and the ceiling of your home.
• Close vents in rooms that you are not using or do not want to heat and keep unoccupied rooms closed to preserve the heat in the area you are in.
• Keep forced air vents accessible and move furniture away from them, as well as piles of clothes, books, or other items, so that the warm air can flow freely into the room.
• Use rugs and carpets if your flooring is cold or if your home is built on a cement slab. Even if you have carpet installed, a thick rug can make a huge difference in retaining heat and keeping feet warm.
• If you have oversized windows that seem to lose heat, you can use a clear shower curtain as insulation. Tape or adhere the shower curtain tightly along the inside of the window frame to create an additional barrier and insulation layer.
• After you are done baking, keep the oven slightly open to release any remaining heat into the house as it cools. (Double-check that the oven is off if you do.)
• Rather than turning up the heat, use socks, hats, scarves, sweaters, and blankets to keep warm at home. An extra layer of clothes or extra blanket on the bed can save a substantial amount of energy and money when it comes to the utility bill.
• If you spend a lot of time seated at a desk or table during the day, consider a foot or space heater placed at your feet to stay warm while working.
• Set timers on your thermostat so your heater turns on approximately 30 minutes before you wake up so that you are not chasing the heat once you are up and moving around the house. Your home will often seem colder after climbing out of bed, but once you are up and moving, your body will acclimate.
