Texas Homeowners Using Inexpensive Source to Warm Homes

With colder days and nights in the Texas, we're all looking for ways to warm our homes and we're all looking for ways to do so while conserving energy.

If you allow your heater to run all day and all night, your gas or electric bill will skyrocket, and that's the last thing we want these days.

So, how can we warm our homes and stay warm on colder days and nights? Sure, you can bundle up in your home and layer up, but how comfortable is that? You can also try to stay in bed all day, but at some point that just isn't comfortable.

Now, let's look at one way to warm your home during the winter, that does not include anything we just mentioned.

If you have windows in your home, and we all do, one way to warm your home up is to open something up, and it's not the windows. A few days ago it was very cold out, but beautiful outside so I elected to open all of the window blinds in the living and dining room areas.

It was mid-afternoon when I opened the blinds and the sun was already making its way toward the western sky, which allowed for a beautiful setting in our home. A few minutes after opening the blinds in our home, I noticed that the temperature in our house was rising, and it wasn't because the heater was on.

The natural light and sun were warming our home and it didn't cost me a penny. So, I share this with you as a reminder that if you have window blinds open then up in the afternoon and let the sun do work, while your heater is off.

Hey, we're all looking for ways to save money these days, and if this tip helps you save on your energy bill, mission accomplished.
