The fuel price hike has set every home’s utility bills to go up this coming winter. Instead of simply soaking it in, homeowners are encouraged to come up with more practical ways to stay warm without suffering all the heating costs.
MSN Money Partner shares some tips on how you can save on your heating expenses without having to suffer the cold:
- lower your thermostat by 10-15 degrees for 8 hours a day
- regularly clean/replace the furnace filter
- check cracks and gaps in your house and fill them with caulk/spray foam
- prevent cold drafts from entering by installing a door sweep under exterior doors
- check the ducts and make sure they’re safe from rips and holes
