Heating costs are going up! These tips make it possible to stay warm this winter without turning up the dial on your thermostat.

It’s chilly out there, and the cost of heating your home is on the rise. There’s more than one way to stay warm at this time of year.

1 – Weatherstrip Your Home

Drafts near windows and doors can cause cold spots. Weatherstripping is an easy project to stop cold air.

2 – Use Heating Pads

Use microwaveable heating pads or a simple DIY rice sock to keep your feet warm naturally.

3 – Eat Soup and Drink Warm Beverages

Keep your internal temperature up with hot soups and tea throughout the day.

4 – Dress in Layers

Utilize sweaters, turtlenecks, and long underwear to retain body heat effectively.

5 – Humidify Your Home

Dry air feels colder. Aim for 30% to 40% humidity to increase comfort levels.

6 – Use That Fireplace

A roaring fire is a charming way to heat a room; just ensure your chimney is inspected for safety.
