You’ve probably noticed the days are getting shorter and colder and it seems difficult to keep your home comfortable and warm. We’ve got a few tips that can help beyond completing annual furnace service. These tips will complement the comfort your furnace provides.
Here are four tips for staying comfortable this winter in Norco and St. Charles Parish:
- Seal air leaks. A great deal of warm air escapes your home through cracks around your windows and doors. This can be an expensive problem when you look at your utility bill. Luckily, it’s not costly to fix it. Usually, new weatherstripping or caulking is all it takes.
- Change your furnace filter. •This is crucial to improving your furnace’s efficiency, and therefore saving you some money. What’s even better is that it’s incredibly easy to do yourself. Check your filter regularly and change it when the manufacturer recommends it.
- Get plants. Houseplants are good to have because they look nice, and they can actually improve your indoor air quality. Certain common houseplants will absorb some of the airborne toxins that are released from everyday household cleaners, paints and other products.
- Furnace service. You should schedule regular furnace service every year. This will ensure your furnace is working as it should, and if it’s not, find problem areas before they escalate.
