October 30th, 2025 It seems that the price of everything is going up these days – basic necessities and nonessentials alike. And if you’ve shopped for Halloween candy, you know that the cost of just a few bags of goodies is almost SPOOKY!
But there’s nothing spooky about lowering your energy bills – and we have five ideas we’d like to share that won’t cost you a single penny. You might say these simple money-saving tricks are Halloween treats!
-
Open blinds, shades, curtains, and drapes during the daytime to let the sunshine warm your home, then close them at night.
-
Set your thermostat one or two degrees cooler than you normally would, and even lower at night.
-
Avoid heating rooms you’re not using. If your home has central heating, close doors to unused rooms. If you have radiator-based heating, in addition to closing doors to unused rooms, turn off the radiators in those rooms.
-
Remove air conditioning units from windows.
-
Move furniture away from radiators and baseboard heaters. Aim for at least 6 to 12 inches of clearance to allow heat to circulate freely, preventing wasted energy and allowing for faster warm-up.
