Here are a few hints to keep warm while keeping your heating costs down.
Weather strip your doors and windows to keep the warm air from leaking out. Someone at your local Home Improvement store can show you how to install the stripping. Or you can Google "how to install weather stripping" and you'll find plenty of sites to show you how. It's easy to do and not very expensive.
Keep your thermostat at 68° F.
If this is too cold, try wearing an extra sweater and put extra blankets on the beds. Remember, you're trying to keep your costs down.
Turn your fans on in reverse mode and on a slow setting. This will circulate the warm air up there and bounce it off of the ceiling and down into the room.
Let the sun shine in. Open the blinds and let the sun warm up your home. Once the sun goes down, though, close the vblinds so the heat stays in.
