- Set your thermostat for as low as comfortably possible.
- Replace air filters as needed.
- Keep window blinds and curtains closed during the night to keep from feeling cold from windows. Open them during the day to let the sun warmth in.
- Caulk around windows or doors. Anywhere that air leaks out can cause drafts and poor air retention.
- Taking shorter, less hot showers will save on your water heating bill.
- Purchase a space heater and humidifier. Space heaters will warm an especially cold area, and humidifiers add water to dry air. Humid air feels warmer.
- Keep furniture away from vents. The furniture will absorb heat from the vents and it will take longer to heat your home.
- Buy a water-saving shower head. Less powerful streams save water and still generate enough power to have an enjoyable shower.
