Who doesn’t like to save money? Nobody, that’s who. So don’t get stuck with a high heating bill this winter, follow some of these effective tips for keeping costs down while keeping your home comfy and cozy both day and night.

Bundle Up

One of the easiest ways to stay warm indoors when it gets chilly outdoors is by simply putting on an extra layer of clothing.

Slip into a soft sweater or throw on an extra pair of socks, either way you’ll feel a whole lot warmer as you hang around the house.

Get a Blanket

When winter arrives, grab those warm blankets out of storage and drape them on the couch and bed. Next time you’re in front of the television and feel a slight chill, pull that blanket around your shoulders or on your legs for some additional warmth.

Going to bed and you want to leave the thermostat low? Spread that extra blanket out before you climb beneath the covers for that feeling of total comfort without burning more heating oil.

Propane Heating

In many cases it’s cheaper than running electrical heating options and runs cleaner than traditional oil, so it’s healthier for you, your family, and the environment.

Buy a Space Heater

Sometimes the best option for heating any room in the house is by heating only that one room instead of adding warmth into rooms that are totally empty.
