5 ways to keep your home warm in winter

Real estate expert Joshua Houston shared his tips.

1. Curtains

“Windows are one of the places where cold air enters your home through small gaps. Therefore, always close curtains as soon as it gets dark,” he stated.

This simple method adds an extra layer of warmth, as it can serve as a kind of 'insulation' between your window and the curtains.

2. Rugs

“The floor is another area where heat can be lost and make the house cold,” he added. “You may have noticed that on frosty days your floor is not very pleasant to walk on, as it freezes your feet.

“Add rugs to areas where there are no carpets, it provides an additional layer of insulation between your bare floor and the room.”

3. Check your insulation

Check pipes, the attic, crawl space, and the area under the floors.

“Granular insulation is very effective, and it’s an affordable type of insulation. A large bag can be purchased for about 30 pounds,” explained Joshua.

4. Keep internal doors closed

“Family members usually gather in one room in the evenings, often the kitchen or living room,” he continued.

“This means you only need to heat a small part of your home, and closed doors help retain heat.”
