You depend on your furnace to keep you cozy in winter. It’s important to keep it well-tuned with furnace service annually. When you take care of your furnace, it will take care of you and keep you warm throughout the winter.
If you’ve already scheduled your regular furnace service this year, here are some additional things you can do to make sure your home stays comfortable:
- Have an energy audit — a lot of energy companies will do an energy audit on your home to help you find areas that can improve. You’d be surprised how many areas let hot or cold air escape.
- Weatherstripping — a large amount of cold air enters your home every time an exterior door is opened. But did you realize cold air could be sneaking in even when doors are shut? Check your weatherstripping and replace it if it’s gaping or damaged. This simple task could stop a lot of cold air from finding its way inside your home.
- Recessed lighting — recessed lighting is often makes home heating a bigger challenge. They may allow a lot of warm air to escape through your ceiling. You can fix this problem with a little caulk or aluminum tape.
