January doesn’t have to mean high energy bills or uncomfortable living. Small habits can improve comfort while keeping costs manageable.
Seal the Drafts
Use draft stoppers or rolled towels at doors and windows to keep cold air out. Closing blinds or curtains at night also helps retain heat.
Smart Thermostat Habits
Set your thermostat to a consistent, comfortable temperature rather than frequent adjustments. Sudden changes can strain systems and increase costs.
Lighting & Energy Use
Shorter days mean more lighting. Turn off lights when not in use and take advantage of natural daylight whenever possible.
Create Cozy Without Damage
Add warmth with throw blankets, rugs, and renter-friendly décor. Avoid attaching items in ways that could damage walls or fixtures.
