Inexpensive ways to heat a room with Hardwood Flooring?
I live in an apartment and the bedrooms have Hardwood FlooFlooring. My bedroom is not too bad but my son’s is cold. Besides adding curtains and an area rug, are there any other ways to help retain heat.
He’s 8 weeks old..Too young for an electric blanket
You can try to adjust the heat registers. Try opening your sons all the way, and partially closing others throughout the apartment. If you have rooms you seldom use, try closing them about 75%-80%. Depending on the age of the complex, you may have single pane glass in the windows. That’s where you would be losing your heat. Short of blocking the window over with some foam product, there’s not much more you can do. If it is too bad, may consider a small space heater. You may find it uses more electric then just raising the heat and closing the heat registers some. You’d have to monitor your electric bill. You need to also let the management know, it could be a heat balancing issue with the heating unit.
