Learn how you can keep your rental property warm without breaking the bank.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p>With cold weather here to stay for a while, your tenants might be noticing a spike in their heating or electric bills. Stand out to your renters and make a great impression as a landlord or manager who cares about your tenants by helping them troubleshoot some common energy drains. Share these tips with your tenants to ensure that everyone stays warm and saves funds this season, and don\u2019t forget to check out the ways you can help ensure that you have a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/winter-emergency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">winter-ready rental property.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are a renter in need of some tips to keep your home or apartment warm, without breaking the bank\u2013 or you simply want some energy-efficient ideas that you can use all year round, look no further.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-stay-warm-and-save-money-with-these-efficient-heating-tips-for-cold-weather\">Stay Warm and Save Money with these Efficient Heating Tips for Cold Weather<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/8BjYQU5rDV8\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-turn-down-the-temperature\"><strong>Turn Down the Temperature<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Experts recommend setting your thermostat to 68 degrees, noting that for every degree you lower your heat in the 60-degree to 70-degree range, you\u2019ll <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.directenergy.com\/how-much-can-you-save-by-adjusting-your-thermostat\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">save up to 5 percent on heating costs<\/a>. While this trick won\u2019t necessarily warm you up, you can ensure that you are saving energy when you don\u2019t need that extra heat. For sleeping hours or when leaving the home, setting the thermostat down to 55 degrees or off for an extended time saves 5-20 percent of your heating costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Change Your HVAC Filters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Dirty filters restrict airflow and increase energy use. Changing the air filters on the manufacturer&#8217;s stated schedule can <a href=\"https:\/\/www.aarp.org\/money\/personal-finance\/lower-heating-bills\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">save your renters<\/a> on heating costs.\u00a0 If you have a pet or live in a particularly dusty environment, you may want to change filters more frequently. This tip will not only help you save money, but it will prolong the life of the furnace. Many leases require that renters do this simple tenant maintenance task, meaning not changing your filters could leave you paying for repair costs due to negligence and unnecessary wear and tear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-get-wintertime-curtains\"><strong>Get Wintertime Curtains<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>According to <a href=\"http:\/\/energy.gov\/energysaver\/energy-efficient-window-treatments\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Energy.gov<\/a>, insulated curtains or window quilts can reduce heat loss from windows.\u00a0 Even regular curtains made from a heavy fabric can reduce heating costs; the site recommends hanging curtains as close to windows as possible and letting them fall to the floor for maximum effectiveness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">&nbsp;<strong>Keep Your Chimney Closed<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For homes with a fireplace, remind your tenants to keep the damper closed when not in use.&nbsp; Another solution to keep the cold air out and the warm air from escaping up the chimney when a fireplace is not in use is a chimney balloon. These inflatable devices claim to decrease heat loss more than just closing the damper and sell for around 50 dollars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Use Your Fan Year-Round<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>While ceiling fans are excellent tools for staying cool in the summer, they can be adjusted to help you keep warm in the winter.\u00a0 <a href=\"http:\/\/lifehacker.com\/switch-your-ceiling-fans-spin-direction-to-warm-your-ho-1708038830\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Many fan models have a switch that allows blades to spin clockwise<\/a>, which will push warm air that rose to the ceiling back down into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Heated Mattress Pad or Electric Blanket<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If your landlord allows the use of electric blankets or mattress pads, this simple trick can help you stay warmer at night while keeping overall heating costs down. Instead of heating an entire house during the late-night hours, a renter who keeps the thermostat programmed at 55 degrees or lower can stay warm with an electric blanket or mattress. According to <a href=\"http:\/\/gogreeninyourhome.com\/how-to-save-electricity\/electric-blanket-cut-heating-costs\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Go Green In Your Home<\/a>, a 90-watt electric blanket used for 8 hours a day will cost your renters only $2.20\/month.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Winter Heating Efficiency Tips for Rental Owners<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>To truly go above and beyond for your tenants to keep them warm this season and help lower their heating bills, consider these updates to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/energysaver\/weatherize\/insulation\/adding-insulation-existing-home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">improve the insulation of your property<\/a> from Energy.gov.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Seal Up Any Cracks:<\/strong> Install weather-stripping or caulk leaky doors and windows, which can save up to 10 percent on energy costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Install a Smart or Programmable Thermostat:<\/strong> If your property has a heat pump, select a model designed for heat pumps. Programmable thermostats help regulate the interior temperature for your tenants. Set-back thermostats can save up to 15 percent on energy costs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Increase Ceiling insulation:<\/strong> If your ceiling is insulated or scantily insulated, consider increasing your insulation to up to R-38 to reduce heating costs by 5-25 percent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Seal Ducts:<\/strong> Leaking ductwork accounts for more than 25 to 30 percent of heating costs in an average California home. Consider hiring a contractor to test the tightness of your ducts and repair leaks and restrictions in your ducts.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High-Efficiency Windows:<\/strong> If you are planning to replace your windows, choosing ENERGY STAR windows can reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 15 percent.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Check Your Furnace:<\/strong> Servicing your property\u2019s furnace can help it run more efficiently for your tenants and will prolong the life of the appliance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Printing a flyer or <a href=\"https:\/\/kayceemiller.medium.com\/how-to-write-an-effective-newsletter-for-your-small-business-a2ad05814c49\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">emailing a newsletter<\/a> with helpful tips can also be a valuable way to connect with your tenants and remind them about helpful advice or clever tips throughout the year. Consider setting a calendar reminder within your property management software to <a href=\"https:\/\/help.rentecdirect.com\/article\/229-notifications-and-reminders-notes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">send out reminders<\/a> seasonally to your tenants. This can ensure that your tenants get additional helpful advice and even take better care of the property during their tenancy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article was originally published in Oct. 2022 and has since been updated.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>RELATED READING FOR YOU:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/steps-for-a-burst-or-frozen-pipe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steps to Take for a Burst or Frozen Pipe<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/snow-removal-rental-property\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Am I Responsible for Snow Removal at My Rental Property?<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.rentecdirect.com\/blog\/winter-emergency\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Is Your Rental Prepared for a Winter Emergency?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>With fall&#8217;s cold weather in full swing and winter just around the corner, now is a time when many anxiously worry about the slow creeping of increased energy costs.
