You want your vents and radiators to have as much access to open air in your home as possible. Also, take a moment to clean your vents and radiators by giving them a thorough dusting to maximize their efficiency.
通風(fēng)口和散熱器應(yīng)盡可能的暢通,保持室內(nèi)通風(fēng)流暢。同時(shí),最好花點(diǎn)兒時(shí)間對(duì)通風(fēng)口和散熱器進(jìn)行大掃除,以最大程度地提高效率。
Pull out and Clean Your Blankets
拿出毛毯并清洗干凈
You'll want to clean and distribute blankets throughout the house – on beds, sofas and chairs. Having a blanket available within arm's reach will often be the nudge you need to grab the blanket rather than turning up the heat. Pull them out now and give them a good cleaning, so they're ready to go when you need them.
你需要將毛毯洗凈,并在房間各處都放上一條——床上、沙發(fā)上和椅子上。若毛毯在觸手可及的范圍內(nèi),您通常會(huì)裹緊毛毯而非打開(kāi)暖氣。拿出毛毯,好好清洗一番吧,需要的時(shí)候它們就會(huì)派上用場(chǎng)哦。
Cook at Home
在家做飯
Cooking at home has the secondary benefit of keeping your kitchen and surrounding rooms warm with the extra heat from the stove and oven. Take advantage of that and prepare lots of meals at home.
在家做飯還有另一個(gè)好處:爐子和烤箱的溫度會(huì)使廚房和鄰近房間保持溫暖。利用這一好處,多在家做飯吧。
While your kitchen gear isn't efficient at heating the house, cooking at home allows the excess heat from cooking aid you in keeping your home warm. Plus, cooking at home is almost always cheaper than dining out. Cooking adds a bit of moisture to the air, which can help the house feel a bit warmer, too.
雖然廚房用具不足以給整個(gè)房子供暖,但在家做飯時(shí),烹飪產(chǎn)生的多余熱量卻能使房間保持溫暖。此外,在家做飯永遠(yuǎn)比出去吃便宜。做飯還會(huì)給空氣增加濕度,這也有助于保持房屋溫暖。
Switch to Heavier Curtains
換厚一點(diǎn)的窗簾
One useful strategy for keeping winter energy bills low is to have a set of thicker curtains that you hang over any windows usually kept drawn. In the winter, it's generally a good idea to close the curtains on any windows that aren't receiving direct sunlight.
想在冬天交更低的電費(fèi)?在通常處于打開(kāi)狀態(tài)下的窗戶上掛一套更厚的窗簾是一種行之有效的方法。在冬天,將陽(yáng)光照射不到的窗戶的窗簾拉上通常被認(rèn)為很有幫助。
If you have a set of heavier curtains for those windows, take down the spring and summer curtains and put up the thicker winter ones. While they're closed, they'll help keep the cold air out and warm air in.
如果你家中備有一套更厚的窗簾,是時(shí)候取下春夏季窗簾換上厚款了。拉上窗簾可以將冷空氣阻擋在外,同時(shí)將暖氣留在室內(nèi)。
If you follow these tips, you'll find yourself keeping warm all winter long without the energy bills blowing you away.
如果能遵循這些建議,您就會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn):整個(gè)冬天不僅溫暖,而且電費(fèi)賬單也不會(huì)貴的離譜!
