Don't Heat your Closets and Save

Do you keep your closet doors open at home? What about your cabinets in the kitchen, your basement, or your pantry?
Although it seems like nothing much, these storage spaces in the home add up to a lot of cubic footage, and when you are trying to save money on heating expenses, the cost of heating your closets, cellars and pantry can really stack up.

Just by closing the doors and ensuring that there are minimal leaks, you can reduce your heating bills by a significant fraction, which is more dramatic if your closets are on an outside wall.

While you are at it, you can consider closing off a wing of your home during the cold season, to help conserve energy. If you have enough space in your home to live in just a fraction of it, it can be a great way to save on costs such as lighting, heating, and cleaning for the winter.
