frugal heating this winter??
Anyone have some fresh and economical ideas on saving money on heat this
winter-- it is supposed to be a tough winter.... Peg Winterize NOW before prices go up. Hubby is replacing caulk around windows, weather-stripping around doors, replacing filters in furnace, etc. One other thing we do is keep a huge pot of boiling water going on the (gas) stove 24/7 when the weather is REALLY cold (around here, that is 20 deg F or colder). Somehow, having the air humidified helps the whole house seem warmer (and I 'spose having the burner on low doesn't hurt, either). --Jane Insulate the air ducts with foil backed fiberglass (with special foil tape or plastic tie wrapping, not duct tape). 30-40 percent savings on natural gas costs easily. If, you can get to the ducts in a crawl space, etc. Doesn't hurt to wrap the return ducts also. JG |
