By on Life Hacks Smart Living

ORLANDO, Fla. (Ivanhoe Newswire) — Winter is coming. Big coats, gloves, boots and layers of clothes, these are all items that you need to stay warm. So, what do you need in order make sure your house is as warm as you are. Winter savings

Blankets, sweaters, and tea, these items can help you fight the cold in your home. The average electric bill during winter is nearly two hundred fifty dollars.  So, what can you do to save some of that money? For your thermostat, set it at 68 degrees throughout the season. According to energy.gov, turning it lower by ten to 15 degrees for eight hours a day could save you five to 15 percent on your yearly bill. And it may be time to get stingy on your laundry. Since both the washer and dryer use heat, only wash or dry full. It costs about 115 dollars a year to run both. It may be a good time to change out your bulbs. Using CFL light bulbs could save you up to 35 dollars in electric costs over the lifetime of each of the bulbs. Also, load up on rugs. Rugs can help insulate your floors to help keep your feet warm. Finally, use your celling fan to your advantage. Putting your fan on a low setting and running it counter clockwise will move the warm air down. Saving you money and keeping you warm.

If you own a fireplace, to get the most warmth, when you’re not using it, close the damper to prevent the warm air from escaping. And for the windows, use insulating drapes or shades or a heavy-duty plastic sheet in order keep the draft away.
