22 Ways to stay warm
Trying to keep your heating bill down? Here are 22 ways to stay warm, without
touching the thermostat:
*Dress in layers
*Wear wool
*Wear thicker socks or slippers
*Leave the oven open after you bake
*Eat soup and other warm meals
*Drink warm beverages
*Open curtains and blinds during the day to let the sun in
*Close curtains and blinds at night to keep out the cold
*Pile extra blankets on your bed
*Switch to flannel sheets and a down comforter
*Snuggle up in a blanket whenever you're sitting down
*Do something active (clean the house, exercise, etc.)
*Wear a hat to prevent heat loss
*Use a humidifier. Humid air feels warmer
*Don't run the bathroom fan after you shower; the humidity will make the house
feel warmer
*Shut bathroom fans off as quickly as possible to prevent heat loss
*Run ceiling fans in reverse to push warm air back down to the ground
*Put on clothes as soon as they come out of the dryer
*Use rugs on bare floors
*Block drafts with weather stripping, rolled up towels or homemade draftstoppers
*Keep your fireplace flue closed when you don't have a fire to prevent
unnecessary heat loss
*Make sure heat vents, registers and radiators are free of obstructions. If
they're covered with furniture, the warm air won't reach you – even though
you've paid for it
