1Watch the thermostat.
Keep it at 68 degrees when you are at home and even lower when you are away for an extended time.

2Stop those drafts.
Caulk windows and apply weather stripping around doors to seal your heat in and keep the cold out of your home.

3Open and close.
Open blinds or drapes to allow natural sunlight in to warm a room. But close the curtains at night or hang thicker drapes to block cold air.

4Maximize your appliances.
Wash full loads of laundry and dishes. Unplug energy-draining devices like phone chargers or game consoles when not in use.

5Layer up!
You can rely on cozy socks, warm sweaters and adequate underclothes to keep your body warm. Add a rug to chilly hard-surface flooring to warm up your toes on a cold day.
