Winter Tips to Keep Your Bensenville, IL Home Warm.

It’s winter in Bensenville. Many homeowners use a furnace to keep their homes heated. However, there are additional things you can do to keep your home cozy. These winter tips can help reduce the demand on your Bensenville home’s furnace. If you have any questions, call the knowledgeable professionals at Bloomingdale Heating & Air.

Winter Tips to Seal & Insulate

We’ve put together a list of winter tips, but a big factor is keeping cold air from entering your home. The winter tips below will help keep your home insulated from the frosty 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:

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

Winter Tips to Optimize Existing Heating

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

“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.“
