I love the tip about the ceiling fan. I’m going to have my husband check this out! In an attempt to keep our downstairs warmer this winter we are going to be putting new weather stripping on the doors.
I keep my curtains open in the winter time to let the sun heat my house and save energy. I’m surprised it says to close them.
I agree with Hope Beach, as long as you have draft free windows! But they should definitely be closed as the sun disappears.
Great tips! <3
