Have you ever gone to visit a friend’s house, taken off your shoes when you come in, only to feel you feet freeze on the cold floor or even cold carpet? If you have or this is your house, there is an easy solution and it may end up saving you some money the next time you energy bill comes in. It can be fixed by putting in an area rug.
What can an area rug do for you? You don’t need to go out and get one of those expensive Persian rugs(unless you want to). A simple plush type run can keep your feet and serve as basic insulation from the cold floor. This insulation will keep your house a little warmer in the winter than it used to be.
Another great aspect of having warm feet is that it may allow you to keep your furnace a little lower. If you turn down the furnace by two degrees, it may save you 3-5% on your energy bill.
Of course the great things about rugs are that they can add some great accent to your room. As the weather gets warmer, you can always just simply pull the carpet and go back to the summer look.

nice tip. im going to try this one out.
I may not be able to save the whales all by myself but I try my best to be green in my every day life. Besides shopping for products containing recycled materials and recycling as much as I can. I have a low fuel consumption Honda CRX and ride my Honda Rebel motorcycle as many days a year as I can. I also live on a boat and instead of using deisel fuel for heat I use my CZ Infrared Heater which saves me a bundle.
I also purchased one of those 'CZ Infrared' heaters and I just love it. I did my research and it is the best on the market. It outputs 5600 BTU's of heat, has a free warranty for 3 years (others charge extra or you get just 1 year), the bulbs will last up to 20,000 hours i/o 6 or 7 and you can get parts to fix at home instead of being with out for 2 or 3 weeks while shipping to the factory and back.
Umm. I dunno - I bought one of those 'infrared'
heaters. Was not so happy.
I really don't care what anyone says. I love my CZ Infrared heater. It works great for us.
Due to posts by 'happy' customers, I saved on my purchase at
www.czinfraredheaters.com got an extra $70.00 off my purchase.
As with any purchase be an informed customer and know 'who' you are dealing with. My elderly neighbor made a purchase out of the back of a trailer and gave them cash without getting a receipt. Many very legitimate dealers who are fully authorized by the manufacturer and will do the warranty service for you do have mobile demos. Just make sure the receipt has a name, address and phone number "printed" on the receipt. If ever in doubt or anything, please ask before completing your purchase.
Good solid advice from Jane whether perching a ‘CZ Infrared’ heater or any other product!
Normally I would respond with ‘Yeah, yeah we’ve heard it all before’, but we have found our CZ Infrared heater to be a good product. It has a 30 day guaranty so you can be sure it is for you.
