Top 5 Ways to Save Money on your Monthly Utility Bills this Winter

A warm and cozy home does not have to mean a high monthly utility bill.  Keep your home comfortable on a low budget this winter!  Try these helpful tips to increase your heat and decrease your bills.

1. Close doors to rooms that you’re not occupying – Trap the heat in unused rooms to avoid travel into a cooler part of the home, like a hallway or a bathroom.

2. Open the curtains – Use solar heat to warm your room.  Keeping the doors shut while allowing the sunshine through will greatly enhance the heat.

3. Use LED lights – Reduce the cost of lighting up your home during the holidays by using LED (light emitting diode) lights.

4. Adjust your thermostat – There’s no need to keep your home at a warmer temperature when you’re not at the house or not awake.  Turn down your thermostat during the day and sleeping hours to lower your monthly heating bill.

5. Add moisture to the air with a humidifier – You may think that adding moisture to your home will result in a colder temperature. That is simply not true.  Moisture actually holds heat better so you can remain comfortable while keeping your thermostat at a lower temperature.

When all else fails; drink some hot tea, wear a scarf and use a heavy blanket at night when you sleep.
