Keep Your Home Warm Without Blasting the Heat
As the cool temperatures arrive, you’re trying to do everything you think of to make sure your Columbus home keeps the warm air produced by your heating equipment. You’ve added sealant around doors, upgraded your home’s attic insulation, and you even invested in a programmable thermostat so you can reduce the temperature to save energy while you’re out of the home.
Stevenson Service Experts is here with some more easy and affordable ideas to help keep your family warm and toasty this winter, without breaking the bank.
Thermal Curtains – $$
Adding thermal curtains, or even thicker curtains, can help trap a little more warmth inside your home. It’s not hard to lose warm air to a window with a very thin curtain, and much easier to lose warm air to a window with nothing. Get some thermal curtains this season to help keep your home warm all winter.
Caulk Window Frames – $
The Department of Energy recommends caulking your window frames and any feasible cracks that air could get out from to not only help keep warm air trapped in your home during the cold, but to also help prevent water damage and ensure adequate indoor air quality.
Rugs on Hard Floors – $$$
Are you needing an excuse to redecorate? Here it is: laying rugs on hard floors could help keep your home somewhat warmer during low temperatures, and at minimum helps to make that stroll across the cold wood or tile more tolerable. So that beautiful chevron rug you’ve had your eye on at Overstock.com can now be yours guilt-free.
Heating Tune-Up – $
Most important of all is to be certain your heating system is up to the mission of keeping your home warm all winter long. Be 100% sure with a furnace tune-up from Stevenson Service Experts. Stevenson Service Experts now offers fall discounts on heating tune-ups. Call 614-334-3192 to be confident you and your home are warm and comfortable throughout the season.
