 If the season's frigid temperatures have resulted in high energy bills, it's not too late to make some changes. Taking steps to winterize your home can have an immediate impact on your energy costs.
Real Simple magazine offers tips for saving money on these money-saving measures.
Perform a do-it-yourself energy audit to find air leaks by using a thermal leak detector product and then seal drafty spots. This is one maneuver that can save homeowners hundreds of dollars they would have spent on hiring a professional.
Installing a whistle on your furnace that alerts you when it's time to change the air filter can also help ensure the efficiency of your system.
The magazine also suggests saving money by opting for a weatherproofing kit rather than individual products.
Turning your heat down and supplementing with a portable infrared heater such as the iHeater or the Sunheater is also a cost-efficient way to survive the winter cold.
The iHeater is a quartz infrared heater that uses infrared technology to heat up to 1,500 square feet. Infrared heat does not dry out the air, and it heats rooms evenly from floor to ceiling.
These units are available in black and wood grain and can cut heating bills by 50 percent in a safe, ultra quiet and energy-efficient manner.
Sunheat heaters feature replaceable high-end components to extend the life of the product.
These infrared space heaters can heat between 800 and 1,000 square feet and are available in four different colors including black, mahogany, black cherry and golden oak.

 Individuals looking to enjoy a romantic Valentine's Day cozied up in front of a warm, glowing fireplace may want to reconsider their holiday plans.
Experts say exposure to smoke from wood-burning fireplaces can actually be harmful to your health.
"We now know from lots of studies that wood smoke is very, very irritating," the American Lung Association's Dr. Norman Edelman recently told The New York Times. "It contains a lot of irritating gases and it also contains damaging particulate matter. It's probably not good for anybody, and it's especially bad for anybody who has a chronic respiratory problem."
Not so romantic, huh?
Those who are looking for a way to warm up with their sweetheart this Valentine's Day may prefer to use Sunheat's portable, infrared heater.
Unlike traditional space heaters that generate a hot spot in the room in which they're placed, the Sunheat heater provides heat throughout the home.
This product features high-end components such as a Honeywell thermostat and wiring that exceeds UL requirements.
The fan on the Sunheat Heater is 15 percent quieter than the earlier model's fan and it's rated for 150,000 hours.
In addition, the heating element and other parts are replaceable, so your investment in this product is sure to be a sound one. After purchasing the machine you can replace any of the components that may break down over the life of the unit.
Sunheat Infrared Heaters feature frames made from real wood. The model is available in four different colors including black, mahogany, black cherry and golden oak.

 Cuddling up in front of a warm fireplace during the winter months may help keep you warm, but it may also be hazardous to your health.
According to the New York Times, environmental advocates and health experts say wood-burning fireplaces create pollution and cause breathing problems.
"We now know from lots of studies that wood smoke is very, very irritating," The American Lung Association's chief medical officer Dr. Norman Edelman told the news provider. "It contains a lot of irritating gases and it also contains damaging particulate matter. It's probably not good for anybody, and it's especially bad for anybody who has a chronic respiratory problem."
Instead of turning to old fashioned fire to keep warm, individuals may want to consider a healthier, energy-efficient alternative like an infrared space heater.
Both the iHeater and the Sunheat Heater heat the home by distributing warmth through moisture in the home. This allows them to warm the home without drying out the air, and helps distribute the heat evenly throughout large spaces.
The iHeater heats up to 1,500 square feet, while the Sunheat Heater heats areas between 800 and 1,000 square feet.

 Portable infrared space heaters such as the Sunheat Heater and the iHeater may be ideal for use by the elderly this winter.
"As we age, the body loses the ability to regulate temperature," said Dr. Robert Roush of the Huffington Center on Aging at Baylor College of Medicine. "Frail elders may turn the heat on higher than most of us, which can lead to dehydration and confusion, increasing one's risk of falling or taking too much or not enough essential medications."
Part of what makes infrared heaters better than other portable space heaters is that they're not hot to the touch and don't dry out the air, which reduces the risk of burns and dehydration by users.
Products like the iHeater and the Sunheat Heater heat the home by distributing the warmth they produce through the moisture in the home. This allows them to warm the home without drying out the air, and helps distribute the heat evenly throughout several rooms.
These infrared heaters differ from traditional electric space heaters that are hot to the touch, dry out the air and don't evenly heat a room.
The iHeater heats spaces that are up to 1,500 square feet, while the Sunheat Heater heats areas between 800 and 1,000 square feet.
Both units also have a long life expectancy and are energy-efficient as well.

 If the winter chill has left your home a little cooler than you'd like, you might consider buying a portable space heater to add some extra heat without having your heating bill skyrocket.
There are many types of portable space heaters, and experts say it's important to take their pros and cons into account when choosing the right unit for you.
Kerosene heaters need to be used with caution, as they use flammable kerosene to run and omit pollutants such as carbon monoxide and nitrogen dioxide. Experts say these units require ventilation to ensure safety while in use.
Electric space heaters are convenient because they are generally portable and don't require ventilation, according to DoItYourself.com. However, they often heat more of a generalized area than an entire room.
Infrared electric heaters, such as the Sunheat Heater, are more efficient at heating the home atmosphere in a more widespread way.
According to TheInfraredHeaters.com, these heaters do not heat the air in the area and do not cause circulation of the warm air. Instead they heat objects directly.
The Sunheat Heater heats between 800 and 1,000 square feet at a time.
Its construction includes high-quality components such as a Honeywell thermostat and aviation-grade wiring that far exceeds UL requirements. This makes the product extremely safe.
And, unlike other infrared heaters, the Sunheat Heater has replaceable components so you can ensure your investment is a sound one.

 Keeping the home warm during the cold winter months can be challenging.
While many depend on wood-burning stoves and gas to help add additional heat, these methods can cause the release of particle pollutants and, sometimes, carcinogens into the air. These harmful substances can find their way into the lungs.

The iHeater is a quartz infrared heater that uses infrared technology to heat up to 1,500 square feet. Infrared heat does not dry out the air, and it heats rooms evenly from floor to ceiling.
These units are available in black and wood grain and can cut heating bills by 50 percent in a safe, ultra quiet and energy-efficient manner.
