How To Make Sure Your Home Stays Warm

Warm

Keep your home warm with these tips!

During the winter, it’s important to keep your home warm. Your house should be a sanctuary from the elements and one of the biggest ways to make sure this is the case is by keeping your home warm. When the temperatures drop, warmth is a precious commodity so it’s important for you to make it stays in your home. Here are some strategies you can use to keep the rooms in your house warm.

Make Sure Your Registers Are Open

One of the most overlooked causes of a home not being warm enough are the registers and vents not being completely open. At times, your rooms’ vents and registers could have been closed by accident, leaving you in the cold. This can also lead to problems with your airflow becoming unbalanced, so make sure to keep your registers open.

Stop Drafts

Do you notice that a particular part of your room is colder than the rest of it? This is likely due to a draft. This is especially important if you have an older home, as they are especially likely to be drafty. Before it gets cold, make sure that you check your doors and windows for signs of air coming in. If you notice any problems with your rooms’ weather stripping, you should replace it and add some silicone caulking to it.

Take A Look At Your Thermostat

Something that many homeowners don’t consider is the effect of where their thermostat is placed. If your thermostat is located in your home’s warmest room, you may notice that your reading isn’t always correct. If you move your thermostat to another room, you may be able to better identify how your HVAC system is working.

Share Heat

Sometimes, you can’t avoid the fact that some rooms in your home will be warmer than others. This doesn’t have to be a bad thing though! If you use a room-to-room ventilator, you’ll be able to improve the heat exchange throughout your home without having to turn your thermostat up too high. These ventilators are relatively inexpensive, making them a great option for all homes.
