Preparing Your Home For Winter
Preparing Your Home For Winter
Set Your Thermostat To 69 Degrees
One of the simplest and most effective ways to keep your home comfortable during the winter months is to set your thermostat to 69 degrees. This temperature is ideal for most homes, as it will keep your home warm enough to be comfortable, but won’t be too hot or too cold.
Use A Smart Thermostat
A smart thermostat is an invaluable tool for keeping your home comfortable during the winter months. Smart thermostats also feature energy-saving settings and can be programmed to automatically adjust the temperature based on your preferences.
Get Your Heating System Maintained
To ensure your heating system is working properly, it’s important to get it serviced and maintained regularly. Scheduling a tune-up and servicing with a qualified HVAC technician, such as Danny Oliver’s Heating and Air, can help you identify any potential problems before they become worse.
Humidity Is Key
In addition to setting the right temperature, managing the humidity in your home is also important for comfort and efficiency. Too much humidity can make your home feel stuffy and clammy, while too little humidity can make it feel dry and uncomfortable. Consider adding a humidity controller to your HVAC installation to improve your system's efficiency.
