How to make your home warmer without a heater

The heating season has not yet begun, and the house is already noticeably cold? Or maybe cash heating appliances just aren’t enough to heat your home, especially in power saving mode? It doesn’t matter why you have to beat your teeth: it’s time to think about using heat more efficiently.

From the house itself and many of its features depends on how warm it will be. You can enjoy the warmth, spending a minimum power of heating appliances, or you can drown with all your might, and still not know winter evenings without a sweater.





How can I make a home warmer without arrogants?

• First of all, it is important to insulate the house. If you are seriously thinking about saving heat and its rational use, pay attention to the thickness of the walls of your house. If the wall is 40 cm thick, then it is not surprising that you expect the winter period with horror: you will have to insulate the walls with foam or other material that has low thermal conductivity. If the house itself becomes a thermos, then it will not heat up much in the heat, but will not chill in winter frosts.
• The next nuance of the house - windows. Large windows are a lot of daylight. They are a great source of heat loss. The modern fashion of “glass” houses and windows from floor to ceiling has its downside: the incredible cost of fuel for heating such a house. Therefore, without insulation of windows and elimination of cracks, it will be difficult to keep warm in the house.

If the windows are wooden, then you have 2 ways: rational, but costly and long, but economical. Following the first path, you once change all the windows to metal-plastic minimum three-chamber, thereby reducing heat loss several times and eliminating the very concept of drafts. Unnecessary spaces just lay a brick. The second way is annual red tape with insulation of windows, plugging them with foam, pasting with film (by the way, the window curtained on both sides with ordinary plastic garden film keeps heat no worse than metal plastic. Appearance - this is on the amateur, curtaining them with tight curtains.

• Make the most of outdoor heat and sunlight. During the day, remove from window sills and windows everything that prevents light from entering. In the evening, curtain the windows with shower curtains or film: it will attract sunlight and heat, and at the same time prevent drafts. Doors, by the way, can also be filmed: when you enter the house, there will be less cold air.

• Try to insulate the ceiling of the house, if the house is private: after all, the warm air rises up, leaving through the attic. Put on the floor of the attic foam or drywall, at worst, an old dense carpet.
• Heatproof the floor: carpet on the floor will significantly increase walking comfort.
• Use incandescent lamps for heating: they emit up to 90% of heat when working, and only 10% goes to glow. Electricity costs will increase, but without a heater the house will be warmer.
• Close the rooms you do not use. If the house is two-storey - it makes sense to heat only the part of the house that you use, and the largest rooms in area - generally close and curtain.

How do you feel warmer in your home without an abbot?

• If the street is still very cold, then in the yard you can light a fire. Heated stones (dense in structure, not building brick), and bring them into the house. For some time, the stones will not be worse than the stove give off heat.
• Try to stay in small rooms: they are faster to “inhale”.
• Light candles if you have any. Candles give off some of the heat.
• Use a hair dryer to dry your hair: warm your underwear and clothes. You can heat the bed, but manually: the veins in any case do not leave covered, otherwise it can catch fire.
• Cook in the oven. Together with a delicious dish, you will get a heated kitchen. But dishes, when cooking which turns out a lot of steam, it is better not to cook: they increase the humidity in the room.
• Dress in several layers of clothing. Oddly enough, the adage “why do I need your casing if I have 3 robes” makes sense: several light sweaters are warmer than one tight one. Wear slippers and woolen socks: If your feet are warm, it is easier to warm up. In extreme cold, wear a hat: a large percentage of heat goes through the head.
• Sleep in warm, fluffy pajamas: it's a thing!
• Another thing is a warm down sleeping bag. Folks of this achievement successfully use, and nothing prevents you: it perfectly warms and retains the heat of your body. By the way, you can not climb into it very warmly dressed: a down sleeping bag reliably stores the heat of your body, which is not released through three sweaters and a jacket.
• Put a heating pad in bed: heat the water and pour it into regular plastic bottles. Such a warmer will warm the bed perfectly. You can also heat a pillow with rice inside in the microwave: it also keeps warm for a long time.
• Drink hot drinks: tea with ginger is a great way to warm up.
• Let warm pets into the house. A cat in bed or on hand successfully replaces a heating pad.
• Embrace: the coldest evenings are better spent together than alone!
