How
Can You Reduce The Amount You Need To Spend On Heating?
The freezing weather that most of us
has experienced this winter has led to a dramatic increase in the cost of
heating oil. High utility bills are the last thing people want after a year
where the economy was in crisis. This extra demand on finances is crippling a
large number of individuals. That is why it can be very helpful to try
different things in order to reduce your oil bills.
Many homes are losing heat because
of poor insulation. But by trying to make some changes to your attic or other
areas, you could save yourself a lot of money. It is far cheaper to insulate
than to pay for heat that is escaping through the walls or roof. Preventing
drafts and remembering to close doors can also save you a bit of money on
heating oil.
During the winter months many of us
actually overheat the house. Even increasing your thermostat by just one degree
can mean that your bill could increase by about fifty pounds each year. We all
like to be warm during the winter but there is no need to try to get a
temperature equivalent to the Bahamas. You will be wasting money if you leave
your heating on while you are not in the house. It is far better to use a timer
which will switch the heating on a half hour before you arrive in the house.
It is a good idea to wear warm
clothes in the home because that way you won’t have to put the heating so high.
You do not have to make yourself uncomfortable with excessive amounts of
clothes but just one extra layer can mean you can reduce your heating bills.
Although many people prefer not to be wearing tons of clothes inside, but isn’t
it better to wear more in the winter months? Cover up and you might be able to
afford a holiday in the sun with the money you save.
Heating ones home in the cold months
of winter can cost a fair packet. Gas and electricity are very expensive today,
with no signs of prices coming down. Savvy people are changing over to oil as a
home fuel though. When they do they always need their tanks filled with boilerjuice ensuring they can always heat their home in winter.
