Optimize Existing Heating

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

• Embrace Sunlight: Open blinds on sunny days to let passive solar heat in.
• Use Kitchen Heat: Leave the oven door open (after turning 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.
