I have a newborn, who doesn’t appreciate my energy misering habits! We need to either heat up our bedroom our the whole house. Our house is 1500 sq ft and it’s gas central heat.
The room is about 300 sq ft and we have a little eletric heater. I’ve heard horror stories about cermaic heaters causing eletric bills to sky rocket!
Any suggestions? Any body "been there, done that?"
I laughed when I read this. I’m cheap also but this is one area you have to bite the bullet. I had the same fight with my wife 12 years ago when we had our first. The best thing to do is close off the vents in the rooms you do not want to heat and open the vents in the rooms you do want to heat. Humidity is important also, if you have a whole house humidifier keep it at 50%. Air flow is very important in an infants room, studies have shown that rooms where the air flow is good has decreased the chances of SIDS,
Sudden infant death syndrome. I always had a cieling fan running on low and clockwise (air Going up) till 2 years old. Don’t want to freak you out but this worked well for us. We have 3 children now.
