Our Favorite Easy Ways to Save on Energy Costs Around the Home
If you find that your gas or electric bills are particularly high in the winter, it might be worth investing in a space heater, especially if you live in a smaller space. As the name suggests, space heaters heat a small area of ​​your home rather than heating the entire home. Placing space heaters in areas of your home that are most frequently used can save you more money than continually heating areas of your home that you don’t use. And they don’t have to be big and bulky.
There are also many small tabletop space heaters you can buy for $20 that use much less energy than some larger heaters. Just don’t go too crazy with space heater placement. If you are installing space heaters in multiple rooms, you may wish to run a central heating system to heat your entire home.
“We calculated how much you could save on your energy bills each year by running a space heater for 8 hours a day.” If you run it 8 hours a day, you can expect to pay around $1.60 per day, or $48 per monthon average.
