It’s been an exceptionally cold winter, and if you are spending hundreds of dollars trying to keep your cold home warm there are a few things you and your family can do to stay nice and toasty without breaking the bank…

1.       Insulate your windows – windows take out a phenomenal amount of heat, especially if they are not double glazed. Consider double glazing or purchase a film that can help prevent heat loss in winter, and keeps the heat out in the hot summer months. Though it can be expensive to begin with, in the long term you will save plenty of costs from keeping those power sucking heaters off.

2.       Stop drafts under doors – lay down draft stoppers and make sure there are no huge gaps under your doors.

3.       Clean and change filters – vent filters, air conditioning filters and even filters in your dehumidifier can become clogged with lint and dust. Be sure to keep these clean and clear for best results.

4.       Purchase a few rugs – rugs will create an extra layer of insulation for your home, especially if you have wooden flooring.

5.       Close doors to unused rooms – these rooms can suck the heat away from the areas you spend most of your time in. If you aren’t using a room, close the door and make sure no air is escaping from your main living space letting heat in to the unused room.
