Ways That You Can Conserve Heat During the Cold Winter

By Angie Lyczkowski | Published: December 22, 2022

While heating your home keeps you warm and comfortable in the winter, it can still leave you shivering when you open your utility bill. Fortunately, you can conserve heat to enjoy a warm house and lower your heating bills by following the useful tips below.

Keep Your Heating System Well Maintained

Every year, you should have an HVAC technician check your heating system. The technician will clean your unit and inspect all parts to identify those that require replacing. That helps you avoid emergency repairs and keeps the system operating at peak efficiency.

Cut Out Drafts

Doorways and windows can allow cold air into your home and warm indoor air to escape. You can insulate these parts of your home better by adding weatherstripping to the movable parts and spray foam or caulk on the nonmoving sections. Prevent cold air from seeping below exterior doors by installing door sweeps. Warm air rises, so check the insulation status of your attic and ceilings and add better insulation where necessary to conserve heat.

Check the Arrangement of Your Furniture

A chair, couch, bed, shelving, draperies, or rugs can disrupt the flow of heat in your home. Rearrange your furniture to keep them away from your vents, registers, and radiators and conserve heat that way.

Change the Spin on Your Ceiling Fans

You can use ceiling fans to push the warmer air that collects at the top of a room to the bottom. However, in the winter, you’ll need to run the fans at their lowest speeds and in a clockwise direction.

Use Your Thermostat in a Smart Way

If your home is well insulated, you can reduce your heating costs by as much as 30% if you set your programmable thermostat in an energy-efficient way. Set your thermostat to match your schedule. Set it to lower the temperature by about eight degrees when asleep or at work and to bring your home to your preferred comfortable temperatures when you arrive home or wake up.

If you take these steps to conserve heat and your heating system still works inefficiently, you may need to replace it. Contact Energy 1 Heating & Air Conditioning if you need HVAC installation or service work in the Lorain area.
