Heating Your Home On The Cheap
Heating Quotes
from local businesses
Looking for ways to reduce your heating bills whilst wishing you could scold past-you for skimping on the insulation? It may be simpler than you think. Of course, when you stumble home after a long day at the office, you probably just want to put your feet up, slip into pajamas and blast a hairdryer in your face. But with these frugal tricks, you can not only avoid burns, but also get yourself feeling cosy in your home without having to even flick a switch.
Dress those windows
Without double-glazing, windows tend to lose more heat in winter than the sunlight they actually let in. You can affix them with cheap plastic sheeting or merely keep the curtains closed or blinds down. Cracks in caulking might should be properly sealed.
Keep doors closed
While preventing air circulation in the home seems a little drab and dirty, it’s often the subtle breezes that can make a room feel chilly. When rooms are not in use, make sure they’re shut off from the rest of the house. Door snakes make great bedroom accompaniments for stopping the cool.
Rug up
Why blast the heating when you’ve got perfectly good blankets and jumpers? Warming yourself trumps warming your house every time, so stock up on tea bags and settle in for hot-beverage hibernation.
Go easy on the exhaust fans
The moisture produced by activity in the kitchen and the bathroom can contribute to mould but it’s also valuable hot air you’re letting get sucked away. Keep your ventilation to a minimum to keep your core temperature to a maximum.
Have a cuddle
Take it from the penguins: there ain’t nothing like body heat.
