Invest in a New Roof Coating 

Roof coatings help deflect sunlight away from your home to maintain a cooler interior. You can get the same effect by painting the top of your home white, which won’t absorb heat like a dark roof color would.  

Use Energy Efficient Light Bulbs 

Think about which lights in the home you use the most. Now, swap out the bulbs in these fixtures with LED or CLF bulbs to reduce how much energy they use. These bulbs also last longer, so you won’t need to replace them as frequently as incandescent ones.  

Make Sure Insulation Is Sufficient 

Insulation is crucial during winter, as it prevents cold air from making its way into your home. In the spring and summer, good insulation also keeps cooled air from your HVAC system inside the home, where it belongs. If it’s been a while since you upgraded your insulation, or if you notice that your utility bills are higher than they used to be, it may be time for replacement.  

Add Weather-Stripping to Windows and Doors 

Like insulation, weather-stripping stops air-conditioned air from escaping your home in warm weather. You can find affordable weather-stripping options at many hardware stores, and products are usually very easy to install yourself.

Keep Curtains Open on Sunny Days 

Let the sun do the heating for you by opening curtains and blinds strategically. Check which windows in your home face the sun and leave them open on bright days. After sunset, close curtains and blinds to trap any residual heat.  

Invest in Heavy Blankets and Attire 

Winter blankets and bedding are not only cozy, but they can also keep you warm when it’s frosty outside. Similarly, heavy sweaters and thick socks can keep you comfortable at home.  

Sip on Warm Beverages 

There’s nothing better than a warm cup of tea on a cold wintery day, but there are lots of other beverages you can use to boost your internal temperature. Treat yourself to a decadent hot chocolate or whip up a hot toddy after a long day.   

Open Your Oven After Cooking a Meal 

An open oven can spread warmth from your kitchen to the rest of your home but use this tip cautiously. If you have children or pets, be sure they’re safeguarded from the hot elements in the appliance while you take advantage of the residual heat.  

Use Throw Rugs Throughout Your Home 

Throw rugs are ideal for bare floors, which can become cold to the touch when temperatures fall outside. However, throw rugs can also work well over carpeting, as they’ll add an extra layer of warmth and comfort.
