As the winter temperatures move in, you’re trying to do everything you can to make sure your Waukegan home retains the warm air produced by your heating system. You’ve prevented leaks by adding sealant around your doors, upgraded your home’s attic insulation, and you even installed a programmable thermostat so you can lower the temperature to avoid wasting energy while you’re away.
Robinson Service Experts is here with a couple more simple and affordable ideas to help keep your home warm and cozy this winter, without breaking the bank.
Thermal Curtains – $$
Installing thermal curtains, or even thicker curtains, can help trap a little more heat inside your home. It’s easy to lose heat to a window with a very thin curtain, and much easier to lose heat to a completely bare window. Get some thermal curtains this fall to help keep your family warm all winter.
Caulk Window Frames – $
The Department of Energy recommends caulking your window frames and any possible cracks that air could escape from to not only help keep warm air trapped in your home during the winter, but to also help avoid water damage and confirm adequate indoor air quality.
Rugs on Hard Floors – $$$
Are you needing an excuse to redecorate? We’ve got it: laying rugs on hard floors could help keep your home somewhat warmer during low temperatures, and at minimum helps to make that path across the cold wood or tile more bearable. So that pretty chevron number you’ve been eyeing at Overstock.com can now be yours guilt-free.
Heating Tune-Up – $
Most critical of all is to be sure your heating system is up to the mission of keeping your home warm all winter long. Be completely sure with a Precision tune-up from Robinson Service Experts. Robinson Service Experts now offers fall discounts on heating tune-ups. Call 847-306-8730 to make sure you and your family are warm and cozy throughout the winter.
