But given <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/ga-natural-gas-rates-by-city\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">GA gas prices<\/a>, even stay-at-home date nights can be pricey when you are reaching for the thermostat dial all night to keep things toasty. Furthermore, with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/dnav\/ng\/hist\/rngwhhdW.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">natural gas spot prices<\/a> shooting up 400% in recent weeks, everyone should be looking out for ways to cut natural gas use. How exactly do <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/natural-gas-rates\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">natural gas savings<\/a> and Valentine\u2019s mix? With our ideas to heat up Valentine\u2019s Day without the high gas bill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>5 Ideas to Heat Up Valentine\u2019s without the Gas Bill<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Try a cozy, creative night in for a memorable Valentine\u2019s Day this year. It\u2019s easier on your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.georgiagassavings.com\/resources\/understanding-your-natural-gas-bill\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">natural gas bill<\/a> and your wallet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Start with a <strong>whimsical movie night<\/strong> that brings out your inner kid. Build a blanket fort in the living room, pile in pillows, and stream a favorite film. The blankets will hold your body heat in the small space. So, you can stay warm and snug without touching the thermostat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For dinner, try a <strong>romantic slow-cooker meal<\/strong>. Your natural gas stove may be a great culinary tool, but it\u2019s not very efficient. Slow cookers, on the other hand, use steady, low energy and are much more efficient. A creamy dish like \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecountrycook.net\/crock-pot-marry-me-chicken\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Marry Me Chicken<\/a>\u201d feels restaurant-worthy and romantic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Next, bundle up for <strong>hot cocoa and stargazing<\/strong>. Step outside with a thermos and take in the crisp night air. When you come back in, your home will feel extra toasty by comparison. In other words, you\u2019ll stay comfortable at a lower thermostat setting! Heating accounts for nearly<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=37433#:~:text=Household%20energy%20consumption%20varies%20considerably,often%20lower%20than%20water%20heating.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\"> 50% of your energy use<\/a> in a single-family home. So, keeping that thermostat lower is a great way to cut your natural gas costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A <strong>DIY date night<\/strong> is perfect if you both like hands-on projects. Tackle something that boosts your home\u2019s energy efficiency to make an impact on energy bills. Easy tasks like sealing drafty windows or adding foam gaskets behind outlet covers cut costs without much work. You\u2019ll spend quality time together <em>and<\/em> save money in the long run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Finally, throw a <strong>low-budget dance party<\/strong>. Clear a little space, get a sound system bumping, and groove. Dancing keeps you warm, boosts your mood, and turns your living room into the \u201chottest\u201d venue in town. Add some snacks and drinks to complete the thrifty and cozy night in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Heat Up More Savings with a New Natural Gas Plan<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you\u2019re ready for a special day with your valentine without racking up costs or natural gas use.
