It’s no secret that keeping your home warm and cozy can get pricey! Whether you have gas, electric, or oil heat, these three tips will help you keep your heating bill low:
Supplement gas or oil heat with a decorative electric fireplace — and you won’t believe how inexpensive they can be! We love the fireplaces from Amazon.com (pictured above) which range in price from $40-$300. Many cost less than 9 cents per hour to run, and can fully heat a large room or two.
Keep cozy at night with an electric blanket. Costing less than 3 or 4 cents per hour, these electric blankets allow you to turn your thermostat down by 8 or 10 degrees every night. Plus, they often offer multiple heat settings to ensure that you stay appropriately warm throughout the night.
Consider weatherproofing your windows, by applying a weather seal tape to the gaps around your windows. This tape prevents any chilly drafts from sneaking in through older windows, and you can pick this up for under $7 from Home Depot or Lowe’s.
