How To Save Money With A Space Heater

As temperatures drop here in Maine and we find ourselves in the middle of winter, it’s no surprise that you may find yourself running your heat more often with your thermostat set at higher temperatures.

Yes, this may lead to a spike in your heating bills, which you probably don’t love. However, adding a space heater to your home could help add up to future savings. Let’s take a look at the cost-saving advantages of a space heater.

Zone Heating Benefits

• Many homes have drafty areas or rooms. A space heater is a great and convenient way to add warmth to these areas without having to increase the temperature on your thermostat.
• There are tons of space heater options out there on the market. If you’re looking to save money on your heating bills, you may think buying an inexpensive space heater is the way to go. However, those are not going to save you money in the long run. What you really want is an energy-efficient space heater that works efficiently to heat certain areas in your home and doesn’t add too much to your power consumption total. These will heat rooms quickly which means you won’t have to have them on for as long or have them set at such high temperatures, which adds up in savings.
• Space heaters allow you to heat the rooms and areas in your home that are actually being used. For example, if your family is all congregating in the living room, you can turn the temperature down on your thermostat, turn on a space heater to heat the living room and still say warm despite the lower thermostat temperatures. With this technique, you’re not spending an unnecessary amount of money to heat your whole entire house.
