it is slower to react to temperature change<\/a>, keeping your room temp high and your heating bills low! <\/p>\nRepurpose household items<\/strong>: Simply by changing the way you use common household objects, you can help add some heat to your home. This year, try switching the direction of your ceiling fans to counter-clockwise to push the warmer air down. Whenever you use your oven this season, leave it slightly ajar once you're done cooking to have it warm up your home. Just make sure that you're keeping a close eye on any pets or small children and everyone in the home knows that the open oven is warm and not safe to touch. While you may only use the air humidifier for sick days, it can also help during the colder months to heat your home. Similar to more humid locations, the added humidity makes your space feel warmer. In addition, it can help re-add some moisture you lose when you are blasting your heater's warm, dry air. <\/p>\nAvoid the thermostat as much as possible: <\/strong>To save some money, hold back on the impulse to hike up the thermostat as soon as you come home. Instead, first layer up with warm sweaters, gloves, and a heated blanket. Winter weather is all about bundling up, so we say have at it and get as cozy as you like!

If you do end up turning on your heater, make some quick adjustments to your home to help it heat up. By closing doors to rooms you're not using, you're creating a smaller area for your heater to warm up, saving you some extra dollars. You can also opt to make or purchase some draft stoppers. By choosing your own colors or designs, you can even have them become a complementary part of your home decor!<\/p>\nFor more great apartment home hack tips and the latest Weidner news, make sure to follow our blog<\/a>.<\/p>\nFrom everyone here at Weidner, we wish you and your loved ones a warm Weidner winter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
