Winter Tips to Keep Your Bolingbrook, IL Home Warm.

The bitter weather has arrived in Bolingbrook. In addition to a properly maintained furnace, there are additional things you can do to keep your home warm. By using these winter tips, you can reduce the amount of demand on your Bolingbrook home’s furnace. If you have any questions, call the professionals at Bloomingdale Heating & Air.

Seal & Insulate

Outside of your home’s furnace, one of the best winter tips is to prevent the cold air from getting inside your home. The following tips will help keep your home insulated from the temperatures outside:

Insulate Windows:

Hang heavy thermal curtains and keep them closed at night. During sunny days, open them 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:

Add area rugs to reduce heat loss and add comfort, especially on hardwood or tile flooring.

Check Insulation:

Make sure your attic, walls, and floors have adequate insulation to trap heat.

Optimize Existing Heating

Even with proper insulation in your Bolingbrook home, there are some lifestyle habits you can use to further help reduce the demand on your furnace. Below are some more helpful winter tips:

Embrace Sunlight: Open blinds on sunny days to let passive solar heat in.
Use Kitchen Heat: Leave the oven door open (after the oven 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: Move any obstructions away from heating sources.
Utilize the Thermostat: Lower the temperature when you’re sleeping or away. You may also want to consider installing a programmable or smart thermostat.

“Good value for the price. Installed almost the next day. Installed in the time promised to minimize time without heat. No noticeable disruption of my normal activities during installation. To avoid letting my pets escape, installers were careful about open doors as they went in and out.“

“Bloomingdale Heating and Air have been there each time we’ve had an issue. Our already installed Goodman furnaces have been horrible with several repairs (one during a cold snap last year). One of our two 2007 AC units died in 2019 during a huge heating spell and BHA was there!! We dont feel as though weve overpaid with Bloomingdale Heating and Air. We arent ready to install new ones but if we do we are using BHA!! They’ve been there for us with our private property and flip properties. Call them!“
