Heating bills are set to skyrocket over the next couple of months but there is one simple thing that you can do to help keep your home warm this winter.

If you have ceiling fans, you need to make sure they are spinning the right way to keep the warmer air near you and keep you warm.

When the weather gets coolers, everyone should be hitting the switch on their fan to blow the warm air down instead of getting it sucked up.

This little trick not only will help keep you warm but also save you some money on your heating bill.

We all know that hot air rises and if you could recycle that air into your house, you would be able to stay warm and wouldn't have to run your furnace as much.

If you have ceiling fans, the good is that you can recycle the warm air. Not many people know but there is a button on most ceiling fans that allows it to change direction.

If you flip that switch and have rotation in reverse, instead of blowing cold air, it will take the warm air from the ceiling and push it down over the room.

Of course, you can always put on extra layers and make sure to wear socks and even a winter hat to stay warm indoors if you don't want your heating bill to shoot through the roof. But your first step is to make sure your fans are now blowing the right way to push the warm air down onto you.
