I Haven't Had a Cold Bedroom in 41 Winters—The Old Habit That Keeps Heat In

Donna's large-print home books, and a free chapter of The Lower Bills Book: donnafixes.com You turn the thermostat up on a cold morning, but the furnace was never the problem: the heat got made overnight and simply didn't stay. Donna spent 41 years keeping four hundred Chicago apartments warm, and she explains why the hour you close your bedroom curtains matters more than the curtains themselves. You'll get seven low-cost steps in order, from safety checks and a three-morning thermometer baseline to sealing the curtain edges, moving the bed off the outside wall, and layering the bed, with a way to test the sundown habit on your own thermometer. She also covers why it works, where it won't help, such as failed frames, leaks and double-pane windows, and how to compare your usage line from one January to the next. The whole week comes to under about fifteen dollars, and it keeps the heat you already paid for rather than lowering your thermostat. Where a bigger fix is needed, she points to heating help programs and says to get written quotes. 0:00 Intro 2:12 Donna's Background 4:15 The Cold Morning Mistake 5:35 Safety and Thermometer 7:51 Open Morning, Close Sundown 10:18 Sealing the Edges 12:16 Bed and Layers 14:47 Why It Works and Costs
