Winter Tips to Keep Your Bartlett, IL Home Warm.

Winter has arrived in Bartlett. A lot of homeowners depend on furnaces to keep their homes warm. However, there are other things you can do to help keep your home comfortable. These winter tips may even reduce the demand on your Bartlett home’s furnace. If you have any questions, call the experts at Bloomingdale Heating & Air.

Winter Tips to Seal & Insulate

We’ve compiled a list of winter tips. It’s key to prevent cold air from getting into your home in the first place. The winter tips below will help keep your home insulated from the cold weather:

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 keep the heat inside.

Winter Tips to Optimize Existing Heating

Your Bartlett home may already have proper insulation, but there’s more you can do. Additional winter tips include simple lifestyle habits to help lower the demand on your furnace. Below are winter tips to optimize what heat that you may already have:

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.

“We had our furnace and A/C units replaced on March, 2021. The furnace seems having this whistling sound so we requested a warranty service two weeks ago. The technician, Bob McCarthy detected an issue right away, ordered new parts and completed installation smoothly. Now our furnace is running quieter and we can enjoy much quiet home now. Thank you Bob and good job! We’re truly appreciated the quality and the timely services provided by Bloomingdale Heating and Air Conditioning.“
