How to stay warm at home without turning up the heat

Heating a whole house to keep one person warm is expensive. The trick is to warm you, not every room.

Warm the places that get cold first

Hands, feet and joints lose heat fastest. Small, low-power USB warmers target exactly those spots:

Layer up – the smart way

Thin layers trap more warmth than one thick sweater. Wool socks and a soft throw on the couch make a big difference.

Stop the drafts

Draft stoppers at doors, closed curtains at night and a rug on cold floors keep the warm air where you are.

Warm drinks, warm hands

A cup of tea warms you from the inside and gives your hands something warm to hold.

Small devices, small power

USB warmers use only a few watts – far less than a space heater. Always follow the instructions, don't use heating products while sleeping and start on the lowest setting.
