About WarmingHome

Our Mission

WarmingHome was founded with a simple yet powerful mission: to help homeowners everywhere make smarter decisions, through approachable guidance and free tools that make estimating heating costs, sizing a heat pump, planning insulation upgrades, and getting a home ready for winter clearer, more rewarding, and more practical.

We believe that everyone who heats a home, from first-time buyers to experienced homeowners, deserves access to clear tools, comprehensive resources, and trustworthy guidance. Our platform bridges the gap between confusing options and confident, well-informed decisions about heating systems and heat pumps, furnaces and boilers, radiant and underfloor heating, smart thermostats, insulation and weatherization, and everyday energy efficiency.

Through our free collection of tools, we help homeowners make informed decisions about heating costs, system sizing, insulation and heat loss, thermostat settings, and seasonal home prep. Every tool is designed with real-world applicability in mind, tested against the day-to-day realities of keeping a home warm, and continuously improved based on user feedback. To go deeper, explore our Home Heating Museum, with galleries on the hearth and fireplace, furnaces and boilers, central heating and radiators, radiant and underfloor heat, modern heat pumps and smart thermostats, and the insulation that holds warmth in.

Our Story

WarmingHome emerged from a need we experienced firsthand. While trying to sort through conflicting advice and scattered references, we noticed a common challenge: the lack of accessible, clear tools for the everyday decisions that come with heating a home, running the numbers on energy costs, and staying comfortable through the coldest months.

A warm, efficient home relies heavily on curiosity and a little know-how, which are invaluable. However, a confident homeowner also benefits from clear answers about how heating costs break down, how much heat a room loses, what size system a space needs, how a thermostat schedule helps, and where insulation makes the biggest difference. We saw an opportunity to combine well-researched heating knowledge with modern tools to help people make confident decisions about their homes.

Our team began developing tools that we wished existed when we first tackled heating projects of our own. Each calculator and guide was created to solve real problems encountered when estimating running costs, comparing systems, or planning an insulation upgrade. We tested every tool against real-world numbers, refined the logic based on feedback, and ensured that the results reflected current, widely accepted home-heating practice.

Today, WarmingHome serves active users worldwide, from first-time buyers to lifelong home-improvement enthusiasts. Our tools have helped people estimate heating costs, size systems, weigh insulation upgrades, plan thermostat schedules, and prepare for winter, and make more deliberate, confident decisions about their homes.
