Leave the North Pole Behind—Heat Up Your Home! | Teems Electric

While your children might have the desire to travel to the North Pole, that doesn’t mean that the temperature in your home has to be frigid. The team at Teems Electric wants to help you warm up your home this winter with a few easy tips.

Hot HVAC Tips to Warm You Up This Winter!

Let’s take a look at a few ways you can heat up your home—but not your energy bill—this holiday season!

First, while you might be ready for Santa Claus to come down your chimney this Christmas, it is best to keep your fireplace closed. Since fireplaces are known to pull warm air up, they are allowing the heat inside your home to escape.

Therefore, to help keep the warm air inside where it belongs, you need to keep the fireplace closed when it’s not in use. Some people don’t use their fireplace at all. If you are one of these people, consider blocking off the chimney with insulation that can help to keep warm air from seeping out during the cold months.

Second, consider your doors. Just because they seem like they are closed, that doesn’t mean that they are not allowing warm air to escape, too! To help keep your doors from allowing air out, use draft stoppers to block cold air from entering your home from the open gap at the bottom of your door.

Finally, although it is colder outside, that doesn’t mean that the sun isn’t shining. Therefore, during the day, let the natural sunlight into your home. This will help warm up rooms without an extra burst of heat adding to your electric bill.
