Money Saving Tips on Reducing Your Winter Heating Bills

It seems like every year the price of keeping warm increases; this year saw some peoples heating bills almost double. I started looking for ways to cut the cost of the heating bill without having to wear a parka in the house and wasn't all that happy with what I found. Sure there were sites that said to cut the temperature down at night and when you aren't home and to insulate but I wanted more - I wanted my house to be as "air tight" as possible. The first thing to do to keep heating costs down is to look at your windows. If they are old consider having them replaced in the summer and if money is a factor, start with the ones that are in the worst shape. The money pit, my less than affectionate term for my dwelling, is an older structure and all the windows are different sizes. There are thirteen windows, two large bay windows and four doors - all of which were replaced with energy efficient ones to try and keep drafts to a minimum. I hated getting rid of the one bay window because it had a large piece of stained glass at the top of it but it was sucking the heat right out of the room. I managed to salvage the stained glass piece when it was removed and the new window helps to keep the heat in and the cold out.
