Winter Tips to Seal & Insulate

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 Hillside home is already 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. Below are winter tips to optimize 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.

“We had Pete From Bloomingdale heating and air come by and he gave us a great deal. Bloomingdale’s price was the lowest in the area and they had exactly the unit we wanted.. The other companies were much more and did not have the inventory of units.. We got a great AC system that same week and it works GREAT.. The installers name was Angel.. He was good too.“
