Regardless of if you live in a newer home that is very energy efficient or an older home that might have a few drafts, heating your home costs money. If you happen to live in a place with a colder climate heating bills can be a very significant amount of money.

So what can you do to combat this expense?

A lot of people have tried saving money on their heating bills by turning the temperature down at night when they are in bed. So do you really have to lay in bed with your teeth chattering or pile a mountain of blankets on top of your bed to save money to save some money on your heating bill or is there another way.

A lot of people try using heated mattress pads or heated blankets so they can keep warm and comfortable when the thermostat is turned down on the furnace at night, but how much do these electric mattress pads and blankets cost to run and do the people who use them actually end up saving any money.
