Stay cozy this winter

Posted by Guest Blogger on January 26, 2021

When you're feeling chilly at home, there are several budget-friendly ways you can keep comfortable without turning up the thermostat.

1. One of the easiest ways to stay cozy at home is to keep your feet warm. Our feet play a critical role in regulating body temperature, so when your feet are warm, your body automatically feels warmer. Try a pair of comfortable wool socks or house slippers to stay toasty.
2. On winter days when the sun is shining, take advantage and harness natural warmth from sunlight. Open all curtains, drapes and blinds in your home to let the sunshine in––you’ll be able to feel the difference.
3. Beyond adding visual appeal to your home, area rugs can also provide extra insulation and a warm surface for your feet on cold winter days. Use large area rugs in rooms where you spend the most time. You’ll enjoy the new colors and textures of the rug, and the additional warmth will help keep your home comfortable.
4. Whether you’re experiencing extremely cold winter temps or you simply “run cold,” an electric blanket can deliver quick warmth like a regular throw or blanket cannot. Electric blankets can include a variety of features, like timers and dual temperature settings.

These are just a few ways you can stay cozy this winter without turning up the thermostat. Don’t forget the hot chocolate! Learn more about heating your home with WH’s rebates or call us for more information at (763) 477-3000.
