Efficient Methods to Control the Temperature of Your Home

What do you do with the natural sunlight in your home? You can convert natural sunlight into heat that is effective and useful for your home. You can also help maintain a comfortable temperature in your home by taking a few simple extra steps.

1) Even with the lack of sunlight in the winter, whatever sunlight is available can be stored in your home by keeping the blinds, drapes, or curtains in any windows facing the south pole, open during the day and closed during the evening. This way heat travels you're your home from the natural sunlight and has no exit as the closed drapes will help retain the collected heat in the evening. As the night grows colder the heat will release into the atmosphere of the home and in turn will reduce the need for supplemental heat via your home's heater.

2) Control your thermostat, by setting your thermostat at the lowest temperature setting possible you can control your energy costs. Don't leave the thermostat on when no one is home and or have it on auto adjust to keep the house cooler when unoccupied and warmer when occupied, taking this step alone has been proven to decrease your energy bills by 10%.

3) Keep your windows sealed, and make sure there are no leaks that can allow drafts of cold air to travel into your home. Easy steps to ensure that your home is well insulated, is to make sure that your windows are sealed and have weather stripping, you can even caulk small cracks to ensure that no cold air will travel through.

4) Make sure your flooring has sufficient insulation and more importantly your attic and ceiling, because as we all know heat rises and will escape your home unless your roof is well insulated.

5) Once all these steps are taken you can add supplemental heat to your home with our economical electric fireplaces which all feature quartz heating and cost less than 11 cents per hour to operate. Electric fireplaces consume about as much electricity as your household coffee maker, making it one of the most efficient and cost effective ways to provide supplemental heat to your home.

Gel fireplaces burn with eco-friendly FireGlo gel fuel that can last up to 3 hours per can of gel fuel. No cleaning and easy to set up are two of the key factors that make gel fireplaces the perfect answer for people looking to enjoy extra heat with live flames.
