How to Stay Warm in Winter

We’ve been freezing in New Zealand lately! Sunny days and amazing coffee are a reprieve. With rising power bills and cost of groceries, we look into ways to keep warm in winter without paying too much for electricity.

Here are some tips:

  1. Use a water bottle. This technique really works. It’s heavily used in Japan even in wealthier homes.  Some cost-effective options can be reviewed online.


       2.  Close the curtains before sunset to keep the heat in. Below are some options to review.

      3.  Regularly hydrate. Drinking warm water every hour is not only good for the body but also helps productivity.

5.  Use an affordable power provider. It is useful to check power usage every 2 to 3 days by logging into your power company’s user account.

First use this link to check if this low-cost power service is available in your area.

Then make the easy switch. 

6.  Air out the house during the day. When you get up in the morning, open some rooms or windows. I'd make it a point to open the bathroom windows. 

7.  If you can, cook before sunset so there’d be less moisture in the house at night.

8.  Wear layers, thick socks and a beanie - yes even inside the house. Keeping your body warm is a more efficient solution than turning up the heat.

9. Exercise during the day. Keep your body moving. Get your metabolism going so your body will generate enough heat.

10.  Use a window wiper when necessary. There are many low cost product solutions at Kmart for this and it’s super effective. When we heat our homes in winter, we'd have to expect some level of condensation on windows in the morning when there is temperature difference in and outside the house. We'd usually use a window wiper squeegee to wipe off excess water.  It is more cost-efficient than buying a dehumidifier.

I hope these tips & ideas help!

There are many products online for your review. Effective use of money is a life skill and will make us more resilient. I wish you a warmer winter!
