Low Cost Ways to Stay Comfortable

Staying warm during the winter months is always a priority. While you are busy bundling up to go outside or letting your car warm up in the driveway before you get in, you also have to prioritize keeping the winter chill out of your home!

There are some simple hacks you can do on your own that can help keep out the drafts and can actually save you money every month if you do them right. Check out our latest blog all about staying warm while saving money below.

Simple DIY Projects

If you are dealing with a minor draft issue between rooms or under your front door, you might be able to solve your problem with something simple like a door draft stopper. You can even use something simple like a rolled-up blanket. Just be sure it is a tight fit with no gapping.

Your windows can also be a source of heat loss during the winter! If you always seem to catch a chill while walking by your windows, give insulation film a try. It is usually sold in a kit and can be installed in about 15 minutes. Once installed, you can expect the film to reduce the heat loss in your home by up to 10%.

The Benefits of a Smart Thermostat

If you haven't yet, consider investing in a smart thermostat for your home! Not only can you control them from the convenience of your phone, but you can program them to adjust along with your family's schedule.

Once you program the smart thermostat, it will adjust your home's temperature to warm up and cool down based on when your family is around! This can save you money on your energy bill every month without costing you comfort.
