Winter Tips to Seal & Insulate

We’ve put together a list of winter tips to keep your home comfortable. The key is to stop the cold air from getting into your home. The winter tips below will help insulate your home from the bitter temperatures:

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

Even if your Mount Prospect home is properly insulated, there’s more you can do to maintain heat. Other winter tips include simple lifestyle habits to help reduce the demand on your furnace. Listed below are additional winter tips to optimize heat that may already be present:

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.
