There is nothing more comfortable than staying in a warm house when it's freezing outside. But how can you win the battle of keeping your house warm when it's freezing outside? To keep your house warm during winter, it is imperative to insulate a new place with every degree drop.

Here are hacks to keep cold outside during winter.

Stop Drafts

The gaps on exterior doors allow a lot of cold air to enter your house. If you want a temporary solution during winter, buy double draft stoppers that sit beneath the bottom of a door. Stop drafts are relatively cheap, and they prevent cold air from seeping in and heat from leaking outside. If you are looking for a permanent solution, invest in a door sweep to reduce airflow beneath the door.

Seal the Fireplace Properly

An improperly sealed fireplace allows heat loss to occur. If your fireplace isn't sealed properly, get a fireplace plug, a reusable and inflatable product fitted below the damper in a fireplace to seal air leakage.

Insulate the Attic and the Basement

If you want to keep cold air away, fill the basement ends with insulation. Find a flexible product and fit it loosely in between joints. You don't necessarily have to compact the thickness; all you need to do is fill the gaps to prevent cold air from seeping inside.

Additionally, you may consider investing in attic insulation. Insulating the attic will help to retain more heat in the house and enhance energy efficiency.

Bubble Wrap the Windows

Windows account for a significant amount of heat loss. After window tinting, it is advisable to bubble wrap your windows to add an extra insulation layer. If your windows are old, they may be inefficient in keeping the indoors warm. Replacing old windows is a significant investment that is not necessary. Instead, install bubble wraps to prevent cold air from getting indoors through the windows. They will trap cold air while still allowing sunlight to get in through the glass.

Pay Attention to Your Thermostat

Setting the thermostat to a warm melting temperature may hurt your wallet when it comes to electricity bills. You may forget to turn off your thermostat when going to sleep or when not in the house leading to high electricity bills. Instead, invest in a programmable thermostat. When using a programmable thermostat, you can set a lower temperature at night or during the day when you are not in the house.
