Winter is here and so is the never-ending battle to stay warm while keeping home heating costs in check. A warm, fluffy blanket certainly helps while you’re binge-watching your favorite show, but you can’t stay under there forever.
Check out these clever products designed to warm you up just about anywhere in your home without needing to touch the thermostat.
Draft Stoppers – Among the biggest sources of heat loss are drafty windows and doors. Fortunately, they can be the easiest to remedy. Reseal gaps around windows, replace weather stripping, and add draft stoppers to all exterior doors.
Heated Blankets – Settling in for the night? Invest in a good quality heated blanket to keep you nice and cozy. Choose one with an auto-shut off feature to prevent over-heating.
Flannel Sheets – While not exactly high-tech, flannel sheets are an easy way to stay warm as you drift off to blissful slumber.
Mug Warmers – A hot cup of coffee, tea, or cocoa sure hits the spot on a cold day – until it’s no longer hot. An electric mug warmer can keep your brew piping hot without needing to get up and reheat your beverage in the microwave.
Shoe and Boot Dryer – Ever tried to put on shoes or boots that you wore to shovel the driveway only to find that they’re still soggy the next morning? An electric boot dryer is a whisper-quiet, energy efficient way to dry footwear within as little as 3 hours.
Heated Toilet Seats – Answer nature’s call with a heated toilet seat that will warm your bottom no matter how cold the indoor temperature might be. Or treat yourself to one that also has a bidet function that gently sprays warm water to leave you feeling fresh and clean.
Towel Warmer – Make your morning shower or nighttime bath more luxurious with the help of a wall-mounted towel warmer. What’s more, it can dry damp towels so they don’t get that musty odor you probably know all too well.
Electric Fireplace – If you don’t have a wood-burning or gas fireplace, you can still achieve the ambiance and warmth you desire with an electric model that allows you to customize the heat, flame colors, and brightness.
Still, don’t overlook your furnace when it comes to staying warm and saving money at the same time. Your furnace works best and more efficiently when it is professionally maintained once a year.
