Tips from Beth
Beth’s video walks you through super easy and affordable tips that make a measurable difference. Here’s what she covers:
| Tip | What Beth suggests | Why it helps |
|---|---|---|
| 1. Place rugs around your home | Place rugs on non-carpeted floors and layer a rug over carpet in play areas | Adds insulation and helps trap warmth |
| 2. Layered curtains | Add a simple inner layer behind curtains in living rooms and kids’ rooms | Reduces cold drafts coming through windows |
| 3. Dust radiators | Regularly dust radiator surfaces before the heating season | Keeps heat flowing freely and efficiently |
| 4. Bleed radiators | Use an extra pair of hands to bleed radiators as needed | Releases trapped air so they heat better and cost less |
| 5. Shorter showers via playlist | Use a two-song playlist to encourage 5-minute showers | Cuts down on hot water use without nagging |
| 6. Draft stoppers | Install draft blockers at doors (especially the front door) | Physically prevents cold air from entering and warm air from escaping |
