But, be sure to periodically open them up to reduce <a href=\"https:\/\/www.familyhandyman.com\/article\/closing-heating-vents-in-unused-rooms\/\">condensation problems<\/a> and cut the chance for mold or mildew growth.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>5. Work Out at Home<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Jumping around, doing pushups, and dancing are all great to stay fit and warm. But, if you don\u2019t feel like moving for the sake of moving, doing chores is also a great way to stay warm and productive. Vacuuming and mopping certainly uses a lot of your muscles.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>6. Invest in a Smart Thermometer<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>It\u2019s easy to schedule and control when and how you heat your home with a smart thermometer. For example, turning your home\u2019s heat during the night down to 60-67 \u00b0F <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sleepfoundation.org\/bedroom-environment\/best-temperature-for-sleep\">improves sleep quality<\/a> and keeps your home energy efficient. During the day, you don\u2019t need to heat your home to more than&nbsp; 68-70 \u00b0F either to stay comfortable.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>7. Get a Green Energy Plan<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>If you get a green energy plan, the electricity used to heat your home will come from renewable sources. Luckily, green energy plans in Texas aren\u2019t more expensive than non-renewable ones.<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>The best 12-month green plans in Dallas today are:<\/p>\n<!-- \/wp:paragraph -->\n\n<!-- wp:list -->\n<ul><li><strong>Come and Take It 12<\/strong>: This plan by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/energy-texas\">Energy Texas<\/a> offers a 13.9 cents per kWh rate at 1000 kWh monthly usage. This includes the 8.59 cents per kWh energy charge, $4.95 base charge, delivery charges, and the market securitization charge as well. While it\u2019s the best price for green plans, the $250 early termination fee is definitely worth considering if you need to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/resources\/how-to-switch-texas-electricity-companies\">switch providers<\/a> in Spring 2023.<\/li><li><strong>Champ Saver 12<\/strong>: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/champion-energy\">Champion Energy<\/a> offers a 14.4 cents per kWh price for the same usage. This plan doesn\u2019t have a base charge, but the 9.7 cents per kWh energy charge and the delivery charges mean that it\u2019s slightly more expensive than <strong>Come and Take It 12<\/strong>. However, this plan only has a $150 early termination fee.<\/li><li><strong>Simply Bright 12<\/strong>: This plan by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.texaselectricityratings.com\/companies\/rhythm\">Rythm<\/a> has the best early termination agreement. If you switch providers before your term is up, you only pay $10 for every month left on your contract. This plan also doesn\u2019t have a base charge, but the 9.72 cents per kWh energy charge and the delivery charges amount to a 14.5 cents per kWh rate. Which is only slightly higher that the other two green plans.<\/li><\/ul>\n<!-- \/wp:list -->\n\n<!-- wp:heading {\"level\":3} -->\n<h3>Find the Best Green Electricity Deals in Dallas<\/h3>\n<!-- \/wp:heading -->\n\n<!-- wp:paragraph -->\n<p>Of course, there are lots of green energy plans on the market in Texas.
