Winter Tips to Keep Your Villa Park, IL Home Warm.

It’s winter in Villa Park. Many homeowners rely on furnaces to keep warm. That said, there are other things you can do to help keep your home cozy. These winter tips can help reduce the demand on your Villa Park home’s furnace. If you have any questions, call the knowledgeable professionals at Bloomingdale Heating & Air.

Winter Tips to Seal & Insulate

We compiled a list of winter tips. Stopping cold air from getting into your home in the first place is key. The winter tips below will help keep your home insulated from the frigid temperatures 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:

Ensure your attic, walls, and floors all have adequate insulation to keep the heat inside.

Winter Tips to Optimize Existing Heating

You may have proper insulation in your Villa Park home, but there’s more that can be done. Other winter tips include simple lifestyle habits to help lower the demand on your furnace. Below are winter tips to optimize what heat you made already have available:

Embrace Sunlight: Open curtains and 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. Consider installing 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!“
