Winter Tips to Keep Your Schaumburg, IL Home Warm.

Winter is in full swing in Schaumburg. Many homeowners use furnaces to keep their homes heated. However, there are other things you can do to keep your home warm. These winter tips can help lower the demand on your Schaumburg home’s furnace. If you have any questions, call the knowledgeable experts at Bloomingdale Heating & Air.

Winter Tips to Seal & Insulate

We’ve compiled a list of winter tips, but a big factor is preventing cold air from entering your home in the first place. The winter tips below will help keep your home insulated from the bitter weather outside:

Insulate Windows:

Hang heavy thermal curtains and keep them closed at night. When it’s sunny out, open them back up.

Block Drafts:

Apply weather stripping on windows and doors. You can also use door snakes and plastic film to cover old windows.

Insulate Floors:

Use area rugs to reduce heat loss and add comfort, especially on hard flooring surfaces such as wood or tile.

Check Insulation:

Make sure your attic, walls, and floors all have adequate insulation to trap heat.

Winter Tips to Optimize Existing Heating

Even with proper insulation in your Schaumburg home, other winter tips include simple lifestyle habits to help reduce the stress on your furnace. Below are some additional winter tips:

Embrace Sunlight: Open blinds on sunny days to let solar heat in.
Use Kitchen Heat: After using the oven, keep the oven door open (after the appliance is turned off) for residual warmth.
Close Off Unused Rooms: Shut doors to rooms you aren’t using to concentrate heat.
Increase Humidity: Use a humidifier to increase humidity. Moist air feels warmer.
Ceiling Fans: Set your ceiling fans to spin clockwise (reverse) to push warm air down from the ceiling.
Clear Vents: Clear the vents of any furniture and obstructions.
Utilize the Thermostat: Lower the temperature when you’re sleeping or away. Install a programmable or smart thermostat.

“I had my ac and furnace installed last year. I was so impressed! This year my ac wasn’t working right. Anthony was so kind and professional. He sent out Brett who diagnosed the problem and Joe who fixed it. He of course honored the warranty and charged me nothing. It’s hard to find companies that are upstanding, especially in the HVAC industry, but Anthony is awesome. His crews are on time, and so professional. I would highly recommend using this company!“

“Our furnace fan kept turning on and off but no heat was being produced and of course it happens on a Saturday morning. We called and they gave us a window of 12:30 – 2:00. The guy showed up at 12:20 and fixed our problem in ten minutes. He was very nice and professional. He even wore shoe coverings in the house. It was a great experience and will definitely use this company again.“
