Are you a current homeowner, or have you owned your house for several years now? Regardless of where you are as a homeowner, our technicians at Springboro Heating & Cooling realized that extreme weather is becoming more common these days for Ohio residents. So with that being said, anything can happen during the winter months. So we figured that in order to keep you and your home protected, it was best to provide some helpful tools to help you winterize your home.
- Insulate Your Attic- Proper attic insulation goes a long way toward preserving your comfort; it’s not just for keeping the heat in during the winter. It can also ward heat off during the summer.
- Caulk Windows and Doors- The attic is just the beginning when it comes to insulating against heat. If your windows are not sealed properly, you can let air in. Caulking them can do a lot to preserve your comfort, whether it is summer or wintertime.
- Check The Radiators- If you have furniture inside your house, our technicians found that most homeowners are covering the heaters with the furniture. Therefore, you will never want to block your radiators so that a good amount of heat can come through.
- Lower The Thermostat- Each degree you lower the thermostat on your heating system decreases your fuel bill by three percent. Going from seventy-two degrees down to sixty-eight degrees. This doesn’t matter much in terms of comfort, but it can save up to twelve percent on your heating bill.
- Check your fireplace- Before you build your first fire of the season, you will want to check for debris, and any animal nest or credible buildup, like this, can be dangerous.
We know that owning a home can seem difficult at times. Rather you brought your house six years ago or yesterday. We understand. So we hope this provides a couple of tricks to fix the hard times.
