If I put a box over the heat vent in the kitchen and over the living room, might not heat those rooms as much. Save a buck on energy? Anyone tried this? Gonna be below zero tonight, and windy. My heat bill will be up a bit, or a lot.

Yeah A few years back I closed the vents totally to two rooms and just kept the doors closed and saved money.

Home heat savings?

Temps below zero F, tonight, with wind chill even below that. Should I leave a faucet dripping?

Should I cover a heat vent or two?

Rent a propane powered "salamander" heater and blast it under your "redneck bungalow" You won't need your bunny slippers to go to the john, and you won't freeze your pipes.

Rent a heater. Pay for fuel oil. Pay for electric. Heat goes out from the skirting.

So, tell me about savings?
