• Embrace Sunlight: Open blinds on sunny days to let passive solar heat in.
• Use Kitchen Heat: After using the oven, keep the oven door open (after the appliance is turned off) for residual warmth.
• Close Off Unused Rooms: Shut doors to rooms you aren’t using to concentrate heat.
• Increase Humidity: Use a humidifier to increase humidity. Moist air feels warmer.
• Ceiling Fans: Set your ceiling fans to spin clockwise (reverse) to push warm air down from the ceiling.
