As you can see we had our first real snow storm yesterday and temperatures at night are in the single digits. So because of that you are probably using your heat a little more this week even though there are a few ways (Cheap ways) to keep your house warm without using the heater all day.

  1. Get thicker Curtains - Covering windows at night can keep the heat in your house, plus you can also get thermal curtains. Along curtains also if you have a shower curtain not being used that may work too. \
  2. Letting the Sun in During the Day - Open those curtains during the day! I didn't even think of this but this allows for natural sunlight to heat up your house at no cost.
  3. Move Large Furniture From Blocking Heat - This mostly goes for you if you have a heater or furnace not central air. But obvious don't place a large couch or chair in front of them as the heat gets trapped in the furniture and doesn't heat the room. Plus it's also a fire hazard.
  4. Close Doors To Unused Rooms - This should be easy as it doesn't let heat out of unused rooms as is good for your thermostat.
  5. Insulating Under Doors and Windows - You can this if you have a an old pool noodle or buy a door insulator for under $10. If you have a pool noodle you can cut it to size of the door and tape it to the bottom, it keeps heat in and cold out.
