Tips for Getting Ready for Winter

This summer has been cooler than most others, and fall might be the same way, so what about winter? Before we start seeing snowy days, double-check that list to make sure ever thing is done. There are some elements to consider before winter, in order to keep warm indoors. Many of these are also ways to live sustainable, healthier lifestyle.

  • Having energy efficient windows are the best way to make sure warm air doesn’t escape
  • Use window treatments that are designed to help save energy; by keeping warm air in during the colder seasons and during the warm seasons, they keep warm air out.
  • Clients of ours use a waterless tank, which helps with conserving water; it only heats up as much as needed when in use.
  • Clients with allergies take special precautions, by not having carpet within their homes also, making sure to use furnaces with clean air filters, which are much better than freestanding units on people with allergies.
  • Make sure there aren’t any air leaks around exterior doors.
