This time of year, many people find themselves desperately trying to keep blustery winter weather at bay. This means that heaters are working overtime, and that can mean a skyrocketing monthly energy bill.
Luckily, there are a few natural ways to help you stay warm while going easy on your heater.
1. Let the sunshine in
The sun is the most powerful natural solution for heating. On a clear and sunny day, leave your curtains or blinds open in the winter and you’ll really notice a difference.
2. Take note of any leaks
Leaks will make the warm air leave in a hurry. Check your home for any potential leaks and, if you find any, make immediate use of some caulk or weatherstripping.
3. Don’t forget pet doors
Pet doors are typically thin, and they can cause heat to leave your home. To avoid this, consider weatherstipping or opt for a thicker door or curtains.
