Edit: Context behind this question is because my parents always tell me to shut the windows all the way and I kinda feel like I’m suffocating… literally… (it’s Winter here)
Like I just struggle to breathe with windows closed…
So I’m just curious, how do y’all not suffocate while trying to keep house warm and spend less on heating?


Honestly I’ve given up on trying to save on heating during the winter. Even with everything closed my house is drafty as fuck. I’ve got one whole room on the ground floor that was an addition built later and no one bothered to run ventilation into it, so it needs a space heater. Yeah it gets stuffy but I’d rather be warm.
Spring and summer are a different story. I love spring and summer air and I open everything.
