The cold weather has arrived and brought concerns about the cost of heating the house and high electricity bills.\u00a0It\u2019s\u00a0good to know that\u00a0saving on the electricity bill is possible\u00a0while keeping your home at a comfortable temperature.\u00a0We\u2019ll see how to achieve it with a just few small changes to your habits or some tweaks around the\u00a0house.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Floors:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The floor is one of the\u00a0primary\u00a0sources of heat loss in the home. If yours is the type of flooring that allows\u00a0much\u00a0heat to escape, then consider adding rugs. These will help to keep the heat in and add a feeling of warmth.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sunlight:\u00a0<\/b><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Especially for those lucky enough to live on the Mediterranean, the long sunny days and abundance of light allow homes here to be heated naturally.\u00a0So, when\u00a0it\u2019s\u00a0sunny, open the curtains and blinds to\u00a0let\u00a0the warmth in. Likewise, when the sun\u00a0goes down and the temperature drops, close the curtains and blinds to keep the heat from escaping.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Doors:\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It seems obvious, but we\u00a0don\u2019t\u00a0always do it – keep the doors closed;\u00a0it makes it much easier to keep the rooms warm. If you have heating in each room, using radiators, for example, you can heat the specific areas of the house that need heating,\u00a0and once they\u00a0warm-up,\u00a0you can turn them off and close the door to\u00a0retain the heat.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Walls:\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you insulate walls without spending a fortune? Yes! Bookcases, paintings, murals and even upholstery will all help keep the heat in the walls. Any of these options will help make the room feel warmer and more welcoming.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Central Heating:<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The best way to heat a home is with central heating, but this also involves a considerable increase in consumption. That said, here are some tricks to help limit that consumption:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
