Keep Your Home Warm Without Blasting the Heat
As the cold temperatures move in, you’re trying to do everything you think of to make sure your Columbus home retains the warm air brought in by your heating system. You’ve prevented leaks by adding sealant around your doors, added to your home’s attic insulation, and you even invested in a programmable thermostat so you can reduce the temperature to avoid wasting energy while you’re away.
Stevenson Service Experts is here with a couple more simple and affordable ideas to help keep your home warm and cozy this winter, without breaking the bank.
Thermal Curtains – $$
Installing thermal curtains, or even heavier curtains, can help keep a little more warmth inside your home. It’s easy to lose warm air to a window with a very flimsy curtain, and much easier to lose warm air to a completely bare window. Get some thermal curtains this fall to help keep yourself warm all winter.
Caulk Window Frames – $
The Department of Energy recommends caulking your window frames and any possible cracks that air could escape from to not only help keep heated air trapped in your home during the cool season, but to also help ward off water damage and confirm adequate indoor air quality.
Rugs on Hard Floors – $$$
Have you been looking for an excuse to redecorate? We have it: laying rugs on hard floors could help your home stay somewhat warmer during low temperatures, and at least would help to make that path across the cold wood or tile more tolerable. So that beautiful chevron rug you’ve been eyeing at Overstock.com can now be yours guilt-free.
Heating Tune-Up – $
Most important of all is to be confident your heating equipment is up to the mission of keeping your family warm all season long. Be completely sure with a heating tune-up from Stevenson Service Experts. Stevenson Service Experts now provides fall discounts on Precision tune-ups. Call 614-334-3192 to be sure you and your family are warm and cozy throughout the whole year.
