Keep Your Home Warm Without Blasting the Heat

As the cold temperatures arrive, you’re trying everything you can to make sure your Edmonton home traps the warm air blown out by your heating equipment. You’ve sealed any cracks around your doors, added to your home’s attic insulation, and you even invested in a programmable thermostat so you can lower the temperature to save energy while you’re out of the home. 

McKinley Heating Service Experts is here with a couple more painless and affordable ideas to help keep you warm and cozy this winter, without breaking the bank. 

Thermal Curtains – $$ 

Installing thermal curtains, or even heavier curtains, can help keep a little more warmth inside your home. It’s not hard to lose warm air to a window with a very lightweight curtain, and much easier to lose warmth to a window with nothing. Buy some thermal curtains this season to help keep your home warm all winter. 

Caulk Window Frames – $ 

The Department of Energy advocates caulking your window frames and any potential cracks that air could escape from to not only help keep heated air trapped in your home during the cold, but to also help ward off water damage and establish adequate indoor air quality. 

Rugs on Hard Floors – $$$ 

Do you want an excuse to redecorate? Here it is: laying rugs on your floors could help with your home staying somewhat warmer during cool temperatures, and at least would help to make that path across the cold wood or tile more tolerable. So that beautiful chevron rug you’ve had your eye on at Overstock.com can now be yours sans guilt.
