Winter has arrived, which means it’s the season for cozy days snuggled up inside. A warm, inviting home is a haven during the winter months, creating a refuge for you and your loved ones to enjoy quality time together.
Keep your home nice and toasty all winter with these four home heating tips:
- Start the Season With a Heating Tune-Up: Giving your home heating system a tune-up before the temperatures plummet helps ensure you stay warm all season long. Our team at Polar Air Heating & Cooling can inspect and maintain your heater or furnace so you are winter-ready.
- Consider a Smart Thermostat. Smart, programmable thermostats can make a big difference in your home’s comfort. From automatic scheduling to zone heating, smart thermostats can make sure you get the heat right where you need it, when you need it.
- Change your Filters Regularly. This is an easy step that many homeowners overlook. Regularly changing out your HVAC air filters allows your heater to work more efficiently. More efficient heating means a cozier home.
- Assess Insulation. Assess your insulation to see if it’s adequate. This doesn’t necessarily mean investing in a big insulation project, although that can certainly help. Even small things like adding door seals, weatherstripping openings, and caulking gaps and cracks can make a big difference in the overall warmth retention of your home.
This year, make your home a winter haven by following these simple tips. You’ll feel the difference in your home by maintaining your heating system and optimizing its efficiency.
