Winter Tips to Keep Your Naperville, IL Home Warm.

Winter has arrived in Naperville. The main method used to keep many homes warm is a furnace. However, there are additional things you can do to keep your home’s interior cozy. These winter tips can reduce the demand on your Naperville home’s furnace. If you have any questions, the professionals at Bloomingdale Heating & Air are ready to assist.

Seal & Insulate

The most useful of the winter tips is to prevent cold air from getting inside. The winter tips below will help keep your home insulated from the cold outdoor temperatures:

Insulate Windows:

Hang heavy thermal curtains and keep them closed at night. When it’s sunny out, 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:

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

Check Insulation:

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

Optimize Existing Heating

Even with proper insulation in your Naperville home, other winter tips include simple lifestyle habits to help lower the demand on your furnace. Below are some additional 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: Keep the vents clear of furniture and obstructions.
Utilize the Thermostat: Lower the temperature when you’re sleeping or away. Consider installing a programmable or smart thermostat.

“I’m very happy with these guys. It started with quick and easy no-nonsense discussion with sales to find the right product for us. And then it was scheduled to be installed the next day. The technician was very professional, courteous and knowledgeable. He took his time to answer the questions I had and left the work area clean. I will definitely be calling them again!“

“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!“
