Winter can be brutal, but keeping your home warm doesn’t have to break the bank. At White Glove Handyman Service LLC, we’re committed to helping homeowners stay comfortable and energy-efficient during the coldest months of the year. Here are our top tips for heating your home efficiently:
1. Seal the Gaps
Cold air can sneak into your home through tiny cracks and openings, making your heating system work overtime. Take time to:
- Inspect window and door frames for drafts
- Apply weatherstripping to seal gaps
- Use caulk to close small cracks around windows and doors
- Consider adding door draft stoppers to prevent cold air from entering
2. Optimize Your Heating System
Your heating system is the heart of winter comfort. Keep it running smoothly with these maintenance tips:
- Schedule a professional inspection and tune-up before winter hits
- Replace air filters monthly
- Clean heating vents and radiators
- Consider upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat
3. Maximize Insulation
Good insulation is like a warm blanket for your home. Invest in:
- Attic insulation
- Insulating window treatments
- Sealing gaps in walls and around electrical outlets
- Adding area rugs to hardwood or tile floors to provide extra warmth
4. Use Heat Strategically
Make the most of your heating system with these smart strategies:
- Lower thermostat at night or when away
- Open curtains during sunny days to let natural heat in
- Close curtains at night to retain heat
- Use ceiling fans on low, clockwise setting to circulate warm air
5. Consider Supplemental Heating
Supplement your main heating system with:
- Space heaters for specific areas
- Fireplace or wood stove (properly maintained)
- Heated throw blankets
- Portable radiators for extra warmth
