During the winter, some homes do not get extremely warm. Although adjusting the thermostat is helpful, additional procedures should be implemented as well.

Seal Any Unused Locations

By shutting the doors that lead to unused rooms, cold air will not access the warmest part of your home. In addition, shutting the doors will help you contain the heat that is generated by your fireplace or heater. If your home has a heater, regular maintenance will be required. When a heater filter becomes clogged, the unit will not provide less heat.

Adjust Your Ceiling Fan

The ceiling fan blades must be adjusted seasonally. In the winter, the blades should rotate clockwise at a reduced speed so that they can pull warm air down into the space.

Use Better Sheets

By swapping your cotton sheets with flannel sheets, you will be much warmer at night. On very cold nights, grab additional blankets and a down comforter.

Place Layers On Your Floor

Strategically placed area rugs can make your cold floors cozy. The National Energy Foundation reported that 10 percent of energy loss occurs through the flooring. To solve this problem, you must use area rugs as insulation. When you walk on the rugs on a cold day, your toes will be toasty because cool air will not seep through.

Use Foil

By placing foil around your radiator, it will not waste heat because the heat will reflect back into the space. Without the foil, you will waste money because the heat will travel through the walls.

Shut Off The Kitchen Or Bathroom Fan

When exhaust fans run while a home is warm, the hot air that rises to the ceiling will escape. If you must use the fans, always turn them off the moment you are done.

Attic Insulation

To keep the attic cozy, install batt or loose-fill insulation. Batt insulation usually costs more then loose-fill insulation. However, loose-fill insulation can offer better coverage if you installed it properly. To achieve the best results, seal all leaks before you insulate the attic.

Although heaters and fireplaces provide warmth, heat will escape if certain steps are not followed.
