Winter Tips to Keep Your Norridge, IL Home Warm.

It’s winter in Norridge. Your furnace plays a huge part in keeping your home warm, but there are extra things you can do. These winter tips can reduce the demand on your Norridge home’s furnace. If you have any questions, the experts at Bloomingdale Heating & Air can help.

Seal & Insulate

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

Insulate Windows:

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

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

Optimize Existing Heating

Even with proper insulation in your Norridge home, there are some simple lifestyle habits you can do to help reduce the demand 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: 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.

“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!“
