How to Be Cozy\nWithout Central Heat<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Fireplace <\/strong>\u2013\nOne of the oldest ways to stay warm and one of the best.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Space Heaters<\/strong> \u2013 If using space heaters please be careful and make sure to turn off the unit when not being used.  To maximize the effectiveness of the space heater, be sure to close doors or windows in the area being used.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Lights<\/strong> \u2013 Use Incandescent lights instead of LEDs and compact fluorescents because incandescent lights produce heat and LEDs and fluorescents produce very little heat.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Electric Blankets<\/strong> \u2013 More energy efficient than a space heater, and great for one or two people.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Sleeping Bags<\/strong> \u2013 These are meant for outdoor weather and some can be effective in minus 40 degrees.  Hopefully your house will not get that cold.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Cozy Clothes<\/strong> \u2013 The best way to wear clothing to stay warm is to layer.  Be sure not to wear so much clothing that it makes you sweat.  Sweating in cold weather can lead to hypothermia. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Warm Beverages<\/strong> \u2013 Warming yourself from the inside of your body can be very helpful at warming your core temperature.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Cooking<\/strong> \u2013 The heat created by baking or cooking will not only warm the air but also be able to dry it out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Candles<\/strong> \u2013 Candles produce more heat than you would think but please be careful.  Make sure all candles are blown out when the area is not in use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Cuddling <\/strong>\u2013 Cuddle up to someone warm-blooded, whether a loved one or a pet. Body contact from will allow you to stay warm on cold nights or days.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Hair Dryer<\/strong> \u2013 For a quick warm up\u2026try turning on the blow dryer and dousing yourself with warm. Just be sure not to get too close or you can burn yourself. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Curtains<\/strong> – Keep open during the day and closed at night.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Bushes and Trees<\/strong> \u2013 Trim up your bushes and trees so your house gets exposed to as much sun as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Rugs<\/strong> \u2013 Rugs allow for an additional layer of insulation, therefore keeping out extra chill.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Unused Rooms<\/strong> \u2013 Closing the door to unoccupied rooms will save heat, while also diverting heat dispersion to high traffic areas where heat is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Windows<\/strong> \u2013 Be sure there are no gaps in your window and sills in order to prevent drafts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Doors<\/strong> \u2013 Doors with gaps can allow a lot of warm air out and cold air in.  Sealing doors will prevent this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2744 Insulation <\/strong>\u2013 Adding more insulation to your walls, attic, and closets can instantly increase your home\u2019s warmth factor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
