As the winter temperatures return, you’re trying everything you think of to make sure your Philadelphia home traps the warm air brought in by your heating system. You’ve prevented leaks by adding sealant around your doors, improved your home’s attic insulation, and you even purchased a programmable thermostat so you can reduce the temperature to avoid wasting energy while you’re out of the home.
Stallion Heating Plumbing Air Conditioning is here with some more easy and affordable tips to help keep your home warm and comfy this winter, without breaking the bank.
Thermal Curtains - $$
Installing thermal curtains, or even heavier curtains, can help retain a little more warm air inside your home. It’s simple to lose warmth to a window with a very thin curtain, and much easier to lose heat to a window with no covering. Buy some thermal curtains this year to help keep your family warm all winter.
Caulk Window Frames - $
The Department of Energy recommends caulking your window frames and any feasible cracks that air could escape from to not only help keep heated air trapped in your home during the winter, but to also help ward off water damage and ensure adequate indoor air quality.
Rugs on Hard Floors - $$$
Are you needing an excuse to redecorate? We’ve got it: laying rugs on your floors could help with your home staying somewhat warmer during cold temperatures, and at least would help to make that walk across the cold wood or tile more tolerable. So that pretty chevron rug you’ve been pining for at Overstock.com can now be yours sans guilt.
