Cold cold cold — I am cold.
Remember George Bailey’s “drafty old barn” in It’s a Wonderful Life? Our place is like that. This 100-year-old farmhouse is cold all winter long. There are drafts at the doors, there’s inadequate insulation, and we have 30 windows in 1800 square feet. (Our old house had eight windows in 1400 square feet.) Every year, we do a little more to make this place energy efficient, but it’s a losing battle. In order to stay warm, we surrender to our heating bill.
(Our house is so drafty, in fact, that the previous owners had a separate furnace in the kitchen. During the winter, they sealed off that room and basically just lived there.)
The cost of comfort
Yesterday I decided to calculate how much we actually spend to stay warm.
Between November and February of last year, we paid $675 to the gas company. That’s an average of $167.20 during each of those four winter months, or about $5.53 per day. According to the gas company’s web site, about 61% of the typical home’s gas usage goes to space heating. Our home is not typical. I think it’s safe to estimate that about 75% of our gas usage goes to space heating, especially during the winter. That means we’re paying $4.15/day for heat.
As part of our effort to keep costs down, we use a programmable thermostat to automate the furnace. When we’re away (or asleep), we keep the temperature at 54 degrees Fahrenheit. When we’re home and awake, the thermostat defaults to 64 degrees — though we often bump it to 66 or 68 (or even higher, if we’re really cold).
What this means in practice is that:
- Every weekday morning, the furnace kicks on for about an hour.
- On weekday afternoons, the furnace runs from 5pm until 8pm.
- On weekends, the furnace is programmed to run from 8am until 12 noon, and then from 4pm until 8pm.
- In total, the furnace runs about 36 hours per week, or about 5.15 hours per day.
Since we pay $4.15/day to run the furnace, and we run it for 5.15 hours per day, it costs about $0.80 per hour to heat our house.
A little warmth
“Yeah, but most of the time we’re cold,” Kris said, after I showed her my calculations. “It’s not even worth it.” She has a point. But neither one of us is willing to pay more for heat, so we pull on long underwear and warm sweaters and curl up beneath fleece blankets.
This winter, we’re trying something new. When we moved into this house, we inherited a pair of oil-filled radiator-style space heaters. We experimented with them at the end of last winter, and found they did an excellent job of heating a single room. Plus they’re cost-effective.
Using my handy Kill-a-Watt electricity usage monitor [my review], I determined that one of these heaters uses about 820 watts on its medium setting, which provides ample heat. This costs roughly 10 cents per hour. When I’m working in my office, sitting next to the heater, it’s very cozy. It’s localized warmth.
As I begin to work from home, this is going to be a Big Deal. I could run the furnace all day, or I could just use a space heater. At a cost difference of about 70 cents per hour, I think I’ll stick with the space heater. (And besides: my office gets much warmer from the space heater than from the furnace.)
Meanwhile, Kris and I will continue to employ other cheap weapons against the cold. Tonight we’ll break out the electric blanket. Based on my calculations, this only costs us a nickel a night, a cost I’m happy to pay.
I’m open to other suggestions, though — I’d love to hear about other cheap ways to keep warm during the winter.

I know you don’t like/want one but a woodstove would go great in the southeast corner of your house. It wouldn’t take much to punch a chimney out the upper wall.
There are newish woodstoves that have very little smoke and almost no ash. You still have to deal with the stacking, splitting, etc.

wow…I never realized what a chore it is to stay warm. I guess I take my tropical Hawaiian weather for granted. We typically have lows in the low 60s, rarely dropping into the 50s at night, and highs in the low 90s (almost never breaking 100) although i’m sure the difference I pay in cost of living more than makes up for heating expenses

Sounds like a Three Dog Night….I do not heat my house at all. I’m wearing shorts right now. I’m also escorted everywhere by two large dogs. It’s 63 in most of the house, but right around me it is very very warm. I think you can guess why.

We have a heat pump, but when the temps dip below 35, it doesn’t help much. That is where the wood stove comes in. I find radiant heat to be much more effective because it heats objects (furniture, walls, stone floor or chimney) instead of air. After building up the thermal mass of said objects, they continue to keep the house warm even after the wood stove has died down. The heat from the heat pump heats the air, and even setting it at a higher temperature does not create the same warmth as heating objects. Since there is no thermal mass built up, it is a fleeting warmth anyway. For our 2,100 square foot house (with cathedral ceilings), we pay an average monthly electric bill of $80, which includes the heat pump as well as our other electrical needs. Wood to heat the house for the winter runs $400, and would be cheaper if we had the time to cut and split it ourselves. This is what is costs us to keep the house at 65 during the night and 70-75 during the day throughout. (Of course, our passive solar set-up, southern orientation with deciduous trees next to the house, helps a lot too.) Even if you don’t want a woodstove, you might consider investing in a gas stove for a central place in the house to get that radiant heat.

Malena: Most heat pumps have “heat strips” (auxiliary heat) that kick on when it’s too cold out for efficient heat capture. Of course, it doesn’t run terribly efficiently with the auxiliary heat on, but around here it doesn’t get *that* cold all that often.

Contact your electric or gas provider. Some offer programs to reduce the cost of energy efficiency projects. Last year my electric provider paid 50% of the cost to blow insulation in my home’s walls.
Also look on the US Dept of Energy’s website for instructions on how to insulate and seal your home. You might be able to do some of the work yourself. So simple, even I could do it!

Consider a wood stove or fireplace — if your home is that old, I’d be surprised that you didn’t have one. My family has a wood stove in the living room that we use on cold nights, and it brings the entire house up a few degrees — and the living room is positively toasty.

We live near Green Bay, Wisconsin also in an old, drafty farmhouse with tons of windows. We have been heating our house with a corn furnace for several years and keep it a balmy 80 degrees in here to the tune of $800 a year! Cheap and renewable energy.

@get rich slowly: did you really like the brand of heater you linked to?
I was thinking of getting one – my apartment feels like a north-facing igloo. The rent is cheap, but gosh is it cold. I do the hoodie and hat trick, plus some thick wool socks.
I actually use space heaters during the winter, and can vouch for the electric blanket. But I don’t like leaving on the blowing-air style heaters on when I sleep, so a nice warm radiator heater sounds like a dream. I might get a down comforter this year, because the electric blanket helped, but didn’t quite do the trick.
One trick I do have is to go to bed with a full stomach. Something nourishing but not fatty, like hot cereal. Oh yeah, and if you have any crafty friends, they can make you fingerless gloves (cut the tips off, like victorian orphan style, or go to etsy.com and get a pair.)

Anna, I just linked to that heater as an example. I don’t know much about these units — I’ve only used them a handful of times. I just picked that one as representative of the species as a whole.
However, I *do* like these heaters in general. They seem safer than the fan-based heaters. And I like how they give a nice, gentle oozing heat. My recommendation would be to go down to your local hardware store to try one out…

Maybe you should look at some of the newer replacement windows. It could very well be possible to replace your ancient windows with new efficient windows that look pretty much the same. My new windows are very similar to what was in this house when it was built (& a huge visual improvement over the ’80′s bronze aluminum windows). They aren’t cheap though. I paid about $1000/per window for the triple pane double hungs I got.
Now I just need to do some insulating.

I have shared living quarters with someone who goes hiking in Maine winters; since he needed to acclimate himself (it was his wife I felt sorry for!), I have had to figure out what how to avoid turning a fetching blue in the mornings or becoming one of those unpleasant whiny persons you sometimes read about… I advise the following for my shivering brethren and cisterns:
1. Those above me are right about humidifiers, gloves, nightcaps, and nourishing food (unfortunately, food taken without the chance to burn off often is automatically stored as fat with certain metabolisms; weigh benefits and costs; however, if you are keeping your calories to 1200 and under per day [watch protein and other nutrients!] and do not suffer from thyroid problems, you should have no problems in this regard);
2. Under–rug heaters are arguably one of humankind’s most comforting inventions. They make sense, too— heat travels up;
3. The difference between heat-seekers and cold-diggers is in their capillary network. Unfortunately, most of this is biologically determined (and often women get the shivery end of the stick), but vigorous and regular exercise; healthy, spicy foods and adequate hydration; and, strangely enough, well-moisturized skin can all contribute to a warmer perceived temperature.
The tip about local energy providers cannot be over-emphasized; some of them will actually come out and find your drafts for you, or even take an IR picture of your house, showing where all the money is escaping from.
Oh, and get your chimneys professionally cleaned if you use a fireplace; not dying in a flue fire is well worth the money— and our chimney man figured out a new baffle arrangement that made a *huge* difference in our living room temperature.

1) Try to strike a deal on your heating. Natural gas companies will put you on a pro-rated budget, propane and fuel oil distributors will give you a set-price contract on fuel. Won’t know if you don’t ask!
2) Don’t allow your heat to go below 55. Lower than that, and your plumbing is in danger of freezing. If you are planning to maintain that temperature, wrap all exposed pipes and appliances (water heater/water softener) in insulating material.
3) Place hay bales against the foundation for insulation. Close off the entry door from the porch and used the back door to avoid the wind from the front. Cover unused doors with heavy, insulated drapes, and stuff drafty cracks with rags.
4) Caulk the exterior of your home. Look at the outside of your house. Wherever you see cracks in the trim or around windows, goop some caulk in there.
5) Hang plastic around your windows. This will stop drafts. You can get a window kit, or do it yourself. Remember to secure the plastic around the OUTSIDE of the window framing. Drafts don’t come through the glass, they come through the framing. One step better; hang thrift store blankets or insulated drapes over the windows. This will stop the cold from radiating off the glass and lowering the temperature in your rooms.
6) Insulate electric outlets that are on outside walls. Insulation kits are sold at hardware stores.
7) Close off rooms you aren’t using, as long as no plumbing runs in their walls. Unplug everything in the room (lamps & stuff), make sure there isn’t anything in there you don’t want to freeze. Shut the door, chink the cracks with rags or insulating material, and forget about it until spring.
drapes to keep in the heat.
9) Sleep more than 1 to a bed. Shared body heat is underrated.
10)Find the warmest room in your house, then make that your living room.
11) Grab the “heat” you’re wasting. Vent your dryer into the house, with the proper piping and lint trapping. When you’re done cooking, open the oven door to allow that heat to escape into the room while it’s cooling down. When the dishwasher is done running, open the door to let the wet steam into the room.
14) Eat warm, nutritious foods. Thick, hearty stews made with root vegetables are great winter foods! Crockpot hot dish suppers were our favorite in the winter.
15) Put your clothes for the next day between the blankets on your bed so they aren’t cold when you put them on. We usually just hung them on the radiators in the morning for a heat-up.
16) If you have hardwood or tile floors, put something on them for winter. Carpets, blankets, whatever. It’s pretty easy to find carpet remnants any day of the week for free, and it really helps keep the tootsies warmer.

I second Pril’s suggestion for the down comforter – real down feathers will do wonders in the winter.
I live in SF and it gets cold – 40s (so it’s not that bad, but I’m used to 60 degree weather!) at night and the down comforter with two quilted blankets on top are more than enough so I don’t freeze. You should definitely invest in one that’s 100% down feathers – you’ll be amazed at the difference and savings in heatings. I rely on just the down, the quilts (thin polyester kinds) and no heater just fine. It’s kept the electricity bill to $50-60 for three people just on my frugal habits alone! Otherwise we’re looking at $100+!

I live in Fla. so heating our home is not an issue. However, I did want to post to note the following issue related to utility costs. We live in a small city (which we love) that, we have come to learn, has some issues with its small city government. Our utility dept. is not automated so they come out to “read” the electric meter and water meter each month. Well, we discovered that the city does not always read the meters and estimates/averages/makes up the meter readings about 1 or 2 a year. The city is permitted to estimate a bill if they cannot read your meter but they are legally required to mark the bill “estimated”. We figured this out when I noticed our water bill creeping up, up and away (I originally attributed the change to the fact that Florida was in a dry period and water rates were going up). Month 3 of the increase I figured out that there was no way we were using as much water as the bill inidcated and husband and I went out to look at the numbers on our water meter and discovered that the water meter and the utility bill numbers did not match or even come close. We then walked around the back of our neighbors homes and out of 5 homes we could only find 3 of the water meters the others were buried under grass, dirt, etc. (meaning they had not been read in quite a while). Now when the utiity bill comes in the mail we double check it against the meters. We have also assisted the folks who rent two of our investment homes in this same city do the same. So, check your bills closely.

If you go with the space heater, I would suggest a humidifier. Those little things can dry out the air so much that you can get a pretty bad cough that takes a while to get rid of.
I ran one in my room one year, and I had brought in some pecans in a bag. A few weeks later, I opened a pecan and it was a small dry husk.
I hadn’t figured out why I got the cough, and then added the humidifier.

In Canada we have a great program (ecoENERGY) that is intended to save energy through home energy retrofits and the government (both federal & provincial) provide grants and rebates for various improvements. Do you have similar programs in the US?
We had an energy audit performed on our 80+ year old house (and one of our older rental houses as well) and were given an EnerGuide rating, basically a number which describes how energy efficient your home is. We were also given a personalized checklist of recommended energy improvements based on visual checks as well as air leak / seal and other tests. The checklist detailed which modifications would provide the biggest improvements. For us, blowing in insulation in the walls provided the biggest return, by far!
The up to $5,000 in grants that can be received are a huge motivator but even without, I think it would be worth having an assessment done. Our “after” score improved significantly by insulating the walls, installing a new, high efficiency furnace, and sealing around the outside joists / beams in the unfinished basement, but we only really knew *what* to do based on the expert’s advice.

Hooray for programed thermostats!
We moved into a new house recently in Florida – so we had the opposite problem with the a/c being on all the time. At least when it’s cold you can put on a sweater! What can we do other than run around in our underwear!?
The first month durning a heat wave when we were first moving in and not paying attention: $245!!!!
Next month after the thermostat: $140 AWESOME!!

54F at night? I’m not sure how cold it gets outside at your place. We’ve got a four-month old baby and can’t have the temp that low. Even bundling her up won’t help as newborns are still learning to regulate body temp. We keep it to 67F at night overall.

One thing that we have done for years is balanced billing. This means that our annual estimated yearly energy bill is divided into 12 equal payments. Sometimes we owe the energy company money and sometimes they owe us, but in general it makes budgeting so much easier that it is worth the discrepancies. We do this with both the gas and electric companies. At the moment we are seeing a big drop in both utilities, as our last child has just left home for college and is using someone else’s light and hot water.

Rico, if you don’t already have them may I recommend you purchase a sleepsack for your baby? My kids loved them. They are like a blanket sleeper with a sack where the legs go. Put it on over the baby’s pj’s, and baby stays very warm through the night. More importantly, baby sleeps better through the night! Way better than tortilla-wrap blankets.

Okay, I discovered a week ago my heater is not working properly but I live in California and so far the temp in my house hasn’t dropped past 62 (although for me that’s low!) and until this past week, has been in the upper 60s. I bought 3 heat dishes from Costco and they work fine at keeping me warm whatever room I’m in BUT I heard they are huge electricity drainers. Is that true? If so, maybe it’s worth it to get my gas heater fixed asap. Does anyone know?

I have to say it’s nice to live in California in the winter. My gas bill for Oct was only $12.

Our home is about 1500 square feet, but it’s an open space. As a result, it’s really hard to heat in general. The upper floor gets too warm, while the bedrooms downstairs remain frigid. We’ve employed a few techniques to keep from getting too cold.
Insulation:
-Double glazed windows are pricey, but have been crucial in keeping our many windows from letting the cold seep in. They really do the job.
-Weather stripping is cheap and easy to install. We sealed the external doors, and it made a big difference in diminishing the draft.
-Heavy drapes for the french doors in our bedroom protects from noise and cold. Ours have a thick liner to keep the sun out, too. While optional, it seems to insulate that much better as a result.
We also invested in a small space heater like yours. However, we put it in our son’s room because it really helps him sleep. We’ll probably get one for our room, too, which should decrease our heat usage to next to nothing.
loading....
Siena,
About those Costco dish heaters: they are absolute energy HOGS. My husband used one in the garage for a month, and it cost us $50 extra! We had to ditch the damned thing. He uses a little heated fan now, and only occasionally (Vornado, I think). I don’t know how many areas you need to heat up, but if you’re using more than one dish, it’s sure to be more economical to just bite the bullet and fix the heater.

Best way to reduce heating costs: Move to Florida
I still have my A/C running! Though it only kicks on a few times a day.
Also, in relation to #65, when the bill is estimated, they document you as having paid up to the estimated meter reading. So, if you pay over one month due to overzealous estimation, when they read it the next month you pay from the estimation point. As long as rates don’t change, you didn’t pay any more or less.
But of course, if their estimating for multiple months in a row like that, the inaccuracies accrue. I thought they HAD to check the meter every so often though… I’ll have to do more research on the matter.

Good Post. I am a mechanical engineer and design commercial HVAC systems. Technically as many other commenters have said, lowering your temps at night requires more input energy (gas in your case) to get your house back to your set occupied temperature. If your house is well insulated and infiltration was at a minimum, then this might make sense to do, but in your situation, you say your house is so drafty, it probably isn’t helping you at all. In simple heat transfer terms, the heat inside your house will be transfered to the outside, if the outside temp is cooler than the inside temp, your house just does it at a much faster rate than others because of lack of insulation/tightness. However, it is easier to maintain a temperature, than to go from one extreme to the other (think maintaining a set speed in your car…. this will burn less gas, than going from 0 to 60 as fast as you can). That said, decreasing infiltration by putting plastic over windows, sealing doors, etc…. would probably be more beneficial to you.
Great site btw. I have been reading now for a couple months, and this is the first post I thought I could actually contribute too lol!

I live alone in a modern 2 bedroom townhouse, which is also my home office. I keep things cold because I’m cheap, green and, conversely, red — with rosacea — so I would rather be in a place that was too cool than too hot.
I open and close the shades strategically to bring in all the natural solar warmth possible.
I can take tepid showers even in the winter because, like lulu, I preheat the bathroom for a few minutes with an electric space heater. Otherwise, the thermostat is currently set for 17 Celsius (about 62 degrees F). I can wander around in jeans and a t-shirt and feel fine at 18-20 degrees C, and only start shivering a little if the house dips to the lowest setting. Later on this winter, I’ll drop the lowest setting to 15C (60F) and see how I do.

Last year my furnace went out. When the repairman came I was curled up with my dog in front of a space heater. He figured out that it was just the thermostat, so while he was fixing it I asked him some questions. When I asked him what kind of furnace he had, he laughed and pointed at my space heater. He used them almost exclusively; he said that it was way more cost-efficient than a furnace. Warning: the gas company may stop by your house to see if you’re stealing gas (which they did to him about once every couple of years, he said).

Thanks Amy for the tip. On the box they say they the heat dish uses less juice than other heaters but in the back of my head I remember hearing they used up a lot of juice. I bought three cause I had guests over for one day over the holidays for dinner but now I’m going to watch how often I use them.
I haven’t called anyone to look at my heater (it’s in the attic and I’ve never seen it). I didn’t use it all last year so I don’t know when it went kaput.
Okay, this is an odd heat strategy but I have furry big dogs (one recently passed) and I let them sleep with me when it is really cold to keep me warm.
loading....
Now I’m thinking: my new gas furnace hardly every turns on because I let the house stay relatively cool. I had it serviced late this summer, and will continue servicing it on schedule (as I may be selling the house and need to show a good maintenance record), but if my furnace turns on rarely, will this affect its performance and lifespan badly?

A colleague of mine in a historic building has interior plexiglass storm windows that attach with magnets, and she loves them. There is evidently a thin permanent magnet around the edge of each window, and they snap the metal-edged plexiglass windows to these (the magnets can apparently be removed, but they have no desire to do this). The former resident of her apartment built them from a kit something like this one:

Wow, look at all these great ideas!
Some of the things we’ve tried:
The windows on the front of our row-house apartment are lovely, historic, oddly shaped and amazingly drafty. We just tried the shrink-wrap sheets on them yesterday, so it’s too early to say about energy savings, but it already feels warmer without the breezes blowing! It also lets us keep the light from the windows, which thick curtains would not.
We have a little electric space heater which we love — it automatically shuts off if tipped, so we don’t worry about our cat.
Rugs have been mentioned — put them down in winter and take them up in summer.
For sleeping — down duvets and flannel sheets make it much warmer. In England I also encountered hot water bottles and a shearling-style fuzzy pad that hooked onto the mattress under the sheet.
Then there are the usual layers, wool sweaters, slippers, hot tea, soup, etc.

Boy am I glad to read some of these ideas! We just recently purchased a 1908 mill house- built from brick! We have discovered quite to our dismay that we went through $300+ dollars worth of oil (100 gallons) in 2 weeks – despite having our windows sealed, doors sealed- and most of the doors to bedrooms/bathroom shut constantly- we also don’t heat the upstairs and were keeping the temperature down to 65-68ish constantly downstairs- with the ceiling fan on in the living room in winter mode- and only using hot water sparatically- and heating up water when possible on the stove…
After this still didn’t save us oil- we have came up with a new game plan. We hung Blankets in the doorways (we hope to put up some doors) – This has helped A LOT! our kitchen is 48 degrees (the coldest room downstairs) and having that blanket prevents the dinning and living room area from getting as cold. We also have a radiator electric space heater which we run when we are home (we haven’t gotten an electric bill yet) and that keeps our living area at 60 degrees and a bit warmer if you sit around it- but it has reduced our furnance from kicking on…
I just have to add that I cannot believe the cost of heating – If we were to heat our whole place at a comfortable level we would end up going through more then $700.00 a month in the cold months!

The first year we lived in frigid Upstate NY, our heating bill (gas) was over $6,000 for Nov, Dec, Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr. I nearly had a heart attack! We purchased a pellet stove, bought insulated curtains, installed ceiling fans, and window insulation kits. Wood pellets are about $250 per ton. I estimate I will use about 4-5 tons this season. Much more reasonable, wouldn’t you say?

I live in an upstairs apartment. The building I live in used to be an old mansion, and the previous landlords, and current, have not replaced the old single pane wooden framed windows. The floors are all hardwood or tile and we have no heat here. In ohio, it drops below zero, especially at night, and since I live in the northern part of the state a stone throw away fromt he lake, it gets reallllly cold and breezy here. We have three space heaters, one for each bedroom to keep the kids warm at night. These tips were very helpful and I’ll definately be trying some of them out as the weather gets colder! Thanks everyone!
