You keep the temp set to 74 and use space heaters, and you can't figure out how to lower your utility bill?

Keep the rude comments to yourself. This is my second year in my house and I’m trying to lower my bill probably like everyone else is, I use 1 space heater for my office while I work.

That wasn't being rude, that was honesty. Best way to lower your utility bill is to use less utilities.

74 is pretty high for most people trying to be mindful of the temperature in the winter - even when I had a newborn I kept it at 72, most years it’s 68-70. Space heaters are an energy hog. Start layering up. Put plastic over your windows. Use blankets if you’ll be sitting somewhere.

My dude. That's pretty high for winter. Turn that shit down to 68-70 and grab a throw blanket. These are the best months to save on that energy bill by turning the thermostat down.
