3 Tips to Keep Your Home Warmer for the Big Game on Sunday
As the big game approaches, ensuring your home stays warm and cozy for you and your guests is essential. Here are some updated tips to keep your home warmer and more comfortable while cheering on your favorite team:
Tip #1: Change Your Furnace Filter Regularly
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain your heating system’s efficiency is by regularly changing or cleaning your furnace filter. A clean filter ensures proper airflow, reducing energy demand and keeping your home warmer. Mark a monthly check on your calendar to stay on top of this important task.
Tip #2: Seal Drafts and Prevent Heat Loss
Drafts can significantly impact your energy usage, leading to increased heating costs. Combat drafts by using draft stoppers under doors and sealing any gaps or cracks around windows and doors. This simple step helps prevent heat loss and keeps your home warmer and more energy-efficient.
Tip #3: Optimize Ceiling Fans for Winter Use
Many people overlook the role of ceiling fans in winter, but they can help distribute warm air more effectively throughout your home. Set your ceiling fans to run in reverse (clockwise) at a low speed to create a gentle updraft. This helps push warm air down from the ceiling, improving circulation and reducing heating costs by up to 10%.
Bonus Tip: Schedule a Professional Heating System Tune-Up
Just like cars, heating systems require regular maintenance to ensure optimal performance. Schedule a tune-up with a Mission Mechanical home comfort professional to keep your furnace clean, lubricated, and properly adjusted. This can reduce energy usage by up to 5% and prolong the lifespan of your heating system.
