As the cold temperatures arrive, you’re trying to do everything you can to make sure your Elkhart home retains the warm air blown out by your heating system. You’ve added sealant around 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.
BW/Cook Service Experts is here with a few more painless and affordable ideas to help keep your home warm and cozy this winter, without breaking the bank.
Thermal Curtains – $$
Installing thermal curtains, or even thicker curtains, can help trap a little more warmth inside your home. It’s easy to lose warmth to a window with a very thin curtain, and much easier to lose warmth to a completely bare window. Buy some thermal curtains this fall to help keep your home warm all winter.
Caulk Window Frames – $
The Department of Energy suggests caulking your window frames and any possible cracks that air could escape from to not only help keep warm air trapped in your home during the winter, but to also help ward off water damage and ensure adequate indoor air quality.
Rugs on Hard Floors – $$$
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 task of keeping your home warm all season long. Be absolutely sure with a Precision tune-up from BW/Cook Service Experts. BW/Cook Service Experts now offers fall discounts on heating tune-ups. Call 574-218-6404 to make sure you and your home are warm and cozy throughout the season.
