Air drying keeps your clothing increases humidity, which helps provide you with a natural warmth. You won't need to turn on the electric dryer for longer periods of time either. You can drastically reduce the electric bill by allowing your clothes to dry out naturally.

Keep yourself warm by sipping a hot beverage when you feel chilly at home. The hot temperature will ensure that you remain warm on the inside, whether you prefer a nice hot cup of cocoa, coffee, tea or a fresh bowl of chicken soup.

A good way to conserve energy and reduce utility bills is to insulate the water heater tank in the basement. An old blanket that you don't use can help keep your tank thoroughly insulated, and save you an additional 5% on your bill.

Keep the pipes warm and insulated, in order to prevent heat loss. The concept saves energy, similar to the water heater tip. The good news is that you also won't have to wait around for the water to get hot before you take a shower. Here is a helpful DIY tutorial you can easily follow.

The worst thing for your feet is to get cold, which can also cause you to get sick. Add a few rugs throughout various parts of your home if you don't have carpeting. The rugs also add extra layers of insulation, blocking out the cold air beneath the floor boards. You should always walk around the house with warm slippers in any case.

18) Use Leftover Pipe Foam to Protect Against Drafts
