How to reduce home heating costs?

We only heat the areas we use, which seems to confuse some people for some reason. Why would we warm the entire house all day if no one is using some of the areas? At night the main heat is on 60F which is more than enough, as each room has warmers and heaters that can be adjusted as needed by the person using the space.

Well, I'm not home in the winter anymore. We have three zones. We lower the one upstairs where the bedrooms are, not to save money, but because we like it cold in the room when we sleep. Heat rises from downstairs, too. Since we aren't home, the temperature was lowered from 55F to 53 by our son, who checks on the house.

We have a wood fire and it is shut down at night. It doesn't get cold enough here to need much heating.

That is a good question because I've had to go without heat in the winter for a few years. Used a blow dryer heater and the like. Candles in a tin can. We have an invention that can heat a whole house for ten dollars a month, the energy companies wont like that though. Solar energy could also do the trick.

@1hopefulman The radiators for the apartment do not work. The owners did not want to put money into them so we had to provide our own methods of heating. I have our own radiator and a smaller one and a heater like in the picture. Now, since it has been very nice I do not use the heat.

Because here we don't feel the extreme heat as other countries, we don't necessarily have heaters in all homes.

The heating is included in the rent I pay, but I can turn it down, especially if the weather gets warmer. Better keep rent low, if we can lower the costs..

Do not turn to very hot temperature. And it is better that the window is closed and the heating will not leak.

Also wanted to ask if u heard of the egloo? I want to buy one. It's like the.other candle heaters with a round shape. They are professionally made and those are much safer. Better to buy them formally made. Im going to get one!!!

Have you heard of the tile heater? Was reading that it saves 60% on heating costs, is more energy efficient than anything or system we currently have, And is an ancient way of heating homes. It saves wood and doesn't need that much wood to burn!!! What do U think???

Have u ever heard of the clay pot heaters? You take two terricota pots with holes in the bottom, and put a piece of aluminium foil over the hole in the bottom and turn it upside down. You take the second pot, a little larger that the first and put it over it. Set in on metal. Lite a candle under it and the first pot inside will get really hot and air will exit the hole from the one on top. Like a radiator. One man said he heats his room for 8 pence a day with it. What do U think?

Do you sleep well with the heat turned down?

Woods.

Use camp fire

We have gas heating, our heater automatically reduces the heat during the night.
