Do you have gas or electric heating in your house? Do you want to save money so that you do not come in such large heating bills? We will show you how to do this.

Steps

Method 1 of 2: How to Reduce Heating Bills

  1. 1 When you leave home, turn off all heaters, and turn them off at night. You can save 3% of the money you used to pay for heating by turning on the heating a little less often.
  2. 2 Use a range hood when needed. Cooker hoods draw out heat. Use them only when necessary. Turn them off immediately after use.
  3. 3 Cover the heater, or cover it with something when not in use.
  4. 4 Make sure the heater is clean and the grate is not clogged.
  5. 5 Turn on a ceiling fan, if available. The heat rises up, so the ceiling is always warmer than the floor. The fan will help to disperse the heat around the house.
  6. 6 Use thick curtains to keep you warm. Don't open the window too often. Close the curtains.

Method 2 of 2: Spend money to save money later

  1. 1 Seal and repair the holes in the window frames. Insulate windows and doors.
  2. 2 Install special winter windows or use plastic window cases.
  3. 3 Fill up holes and crevices under / above doors and doors.
  4. 4 Change the filter in the fireplace.
  5. 5 Add insulation to your walls or roof. Through them, warmth goes away all the time.
  6. 6 Install a more modern fireplace or heater. It will help you keep up to 15% more heat in your home. Double windows are also a good idea.

Tips

  • If you forget to turn off the heater when you leave or at night, set the option to automatically turn off at night.
  • During winter, move the beds away from the walls that lead to the street.
