On hot summer days, you probably don’t spend much time thinking about how you’ll stay warm in the winter. That’s perfectly understandable. But, the cold weather will come around before you know it, and when it does, you'll want something to keep you warm and toasty.
This winter, an electric blanket is the tool you need to avoid the cold. Snuggle up with a warm heated blanket, and you’ll never look back. Not convinced yet?
Here’s why you should use an electric blanket this winter.
Save Money on Heating Costs
It’s no secret that heating a home in the dead of winter can be very expensive. Energy costs are already increasing, and your energy bill will only go up even further if you heat your home to a balmy temperature all winter.
Instead of using your energy to heat the whole house, you can simply use a heated blanket to stay comfortable. Electric blankets don’t tend to consume very much energy.
How Much Energy do Electric Blankets Use?
On average, electric blankets consume about 200 watts over 10 hours, depending on the setting. That much energy consumption would cost somewhere between 15 and 30 cents.
When you compare those costs to the cost of heating the whole house or even just using a space heater, there’s a clear winner. Some space heaters can cost you as much as 15 cents per hour, making electric blankets much more cost-effective in terms of energy consumption.
Plus, by reducing your overall energy use with an electric blanket, you can support your sustainability goals. That makes heated blankets smart for the environment and your wallet.
Variety of Options
Gone are the days of only having one or two heated blanket options. Now, there are lots of different heated blankets to choose from, including several different types.
One of the most popular kinds of heated blankets is the electric under-blanket. These heated blankets go under the fitted sheet on your bed and heat you from below.
Over-blankets are the exact opposite. They go on top of your duvet or comforter and heat the bed from above. If you want to stay warm outside the bedroom, warm heated throws are yet another option.
But it doesn’t end there. Now, you also have the ability to buy a smart heated blanket.
Smart Wifi Heated Blankets
Unlike traditional heated blankets, you can control smart heated blankets with your smartphone, Alexa, or Google Assistant. Smart technology is everywhere these days, so why shouldn’t you use it to stay warm, too?
Smart heated blankets offer all the benefits of traditional heated blankets plus added convenience and accessibility. Instead of dragging yourself upstairs each night to turn on your heated blanket before bed, you can do it from the couch or the kitchen or wherever else you are.
With a smart heated blanket, you’ll have a nice warm bed waiting for you each night. It just takes the push of a button on your phone or a quick instruction to Alexa. How’s that for convenience?
