During the cold winter months, many people want to raise the temperature indoors in order to warm themselves. But turning up the elements can be an expensive story. Luckily, there are a lot of solutions to keep the heat indoors, and several of them you can do right now.
Close doors
To maintain heat in your house or apartment, it is important to ensure that the heat cannot escape. Max VeggebergCEO and founder of Tetra, tells Home and Gardens that you should insulate rooms and create smaller spaces to more easily retain the heat in the room.
You can do that by making sure all doors are closed.

Insulate with pillows, blankets and rugs
The next step is to make sure the rooms are insulated. If you notice that it’s drafty in a room, you can use old pillows, blankets and rugs as draft protection.
– The most important thing is to insulate your house. Using weatherstrip or towel caulk for doors and windows closes off unused rooms and snuggles in the warmest area. It is surprising how much of a difference this can make, says Veggeberg to the newspaper.

If you have a stove, Veggeberg recommends you use it.
Another solution could be to invest in solar panels that can both help with ecological heating and cooling if the weather becomes extreme, and even in the event of a power outage.
– When the power grid goes dark, the houses with solar energy will be the only ones that still have the lights on. It’s a solution that can save you from costly disruptions like heat loss, spoiled food and property damage, says Kristina Zagameresearcher in home electrification at EnergySage, to the newspaper.
