Winter Tips to Keep Your Buffalo Grove, IL Home Warm.

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

Winter Tips to Seal & Insulate

We’ve made a list of winter tips to keep your home cozy. The key is to prevent the cold air from getting into your home in the first place. The winter tips below will help insulate your home from the frigid outside 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:

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

Winter Tips to Optimize Existing Heating

Even if your Buffalo Grove home is already well insulated, there’s more you can do to maintain heat. Additional winter tips include simple lifestyle habits to help reduce the demand on your furnace. Listed below are more 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.
Clear Vents: Clear the vents of any furniture and obstructions.
Utilize the Thermostat: Lower the temperature when you’re sleeping or away from home. Install a programmable or smart thermostat for your convenience.

“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.“

“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!“
