Winter is almost here and people start to already feel the shivering caused by the cold weather. While cold is great outdoors, it is not so fun having it indoors. There are several ways to get warm in the house, and some are more expensive than others. So here are some cheap heating options that can keep you warm without spending too much on your electricity bills this winter.
First of all make sure that if you have a fireplace in your living room, you have it on during the winter. That's why fireplaces are in the first place. Of course they also make great decorations, but a non-working fireplace will not keep the cold outside.
Next use a fireplace blower which can warm up small areas in the room that can't otherwise get easily warmed up. The blower will spread the heat coming from your fireplace to all these hard to reach crevices and nooks in your room.
You can use a cheap electric blanket during the night to warm up nicely when sleeping. Blankets are great ways to get local warmth exactly where you need it: close to your body. This will allow you to get that well deserved sleep without shivering all the time during the night.
While this is obvious to many, it seems people tend to ignore this step until it's too late. Make sure that during the very cold days and nights, you dress up warm even at home.
There are some special heated clothing types that you can buy which are perfect for indoors and outdoors as well. You can buy a heated vest that you can easily wear under your shirt during the day. Also if you're working from home at your computer and it is rather cold in the room, you can easily get frozen fingers and it can get quite difficult typing away with them. Heated fingerless gloves can help with this quite easily as they keep your hands warm, which then spreads directly to your fingers, allowing you to continue your work without interruptions
Finally, one of the most modern ways to keep your home warm is by using floor heating such as the under floor heating.
