One of the best parts about living in an apartment during the winter is not having to worry about shoveling your driveway or yard. However, things aren\u2019t always peaches and cream when it comes to living in an apartment during the winter. One of the most common concerns is high heating costs during the cold winter months. How do you keep your apartment heating costs lower?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While this will, of course, vary from unit to unit, heating costs are generally a lot higher in the winter. While some people get heating included in their rent, others must spend a pretty penny to keep their apartments warm.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you are sick of high heating costs in your New York City apartment<\/a>, you have come to the right place. This blog post is going to look at a few tips to help you keep your apartment heating costs down this winter, without freezing to death.<\/span><\/p>\n

Five Ways to Keep Your Apartment Heating Costs Down this Season<\/h2>\n

Consider our tips for lowering your apartment heating costs to save money this season.<\/p>\n

1. Keep the Thermostat Under Control<\/span><\/h3>\n

When someone is cold in their apartment, the first thing they will often do is reach for the thermostat and turn it up. While that will make your apartment warmer, it can also be quite expensive. The costs will differ, but if you keep the thermostat cranked, you could be looking at an expensive bill at the end of the month. As a result, keep your thermostat at a fairly stagnant temperature, normally anywhere from 60-70 degrees. <\/span><\/p>\n

Another way to save money when it comes to the thermostat is to keep it a bit lower than usual at night. Your blankets should keep you warmer at night. This same thing could be applied to during the daytime if you are gone. So if you work from 8-4, keep it a bit cooler during those hours since no one is home.<\/span><\/p>\n

2. Invest in Warm Blankets and Clothing <\/span><\/h3>\n

If you are one of those people who love to turn up the heat when you get a little chilly, it might make sense to put on some extra clothes or grab a blanket instead. Most people already have warm clothes and blankets lying around, so they won\u2019t even have to go buy any. <\/span><\/p>\n

Not only do they keep you warm, but most warm clothing and blankets can also even make you more comfortable. If you find yourself being too lazy to go grab a sweater or a blanket from your room or closet, you should keep some nearby in your living room or office in case you need to use them.<\/span><\/p>\n
