As the cold temperatures move in, you’re trying to do everything you can to make sure your San Antonio home traps the warm air brought in by your heating system. You’ve added sealant around doors, upgraded your home’s attic insulation, and you even installed a programmable thermostat so you can decrease the temperature to save energy while you’re gone.
Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air is here with a couple more simple and affordable ideas to help keep your home warm and toasty this winter, without breaking the bank.
Thermal Curtains – $$
Installing thermal curtains, or even thicker curtains, can help keep a little more heat inside your home. It’s easy to lose heat to a window with a very thin curtain, and much easier to lose heat to a window with nothing. Buy some thermal curtains this fall to help keep your home warm all winter.
Caulk Window Frames – $
The Department of Energy advocates caulking your window frames and any possible cracks that air could escape from to not only help keep warm air trapped in your home during the winter, but to also help prevent water damage and establish adequate indoor air quality.
Rugs on Hard Floors – $$$
Have you been looking for an excuse to redecorate? Here it is: laying rugs on hard floors could help with your home staying somewhat warmer during low temperatures, and at least would help to make that walk across the cold wood or tile more bearable. So that pretty chevron number you’ve had your eye on at Overstock.com can now be yours guilt-free.
Heating Tune-Up – $
Most critical of all is to be sure your heating system is up to the task of keeping your home warm all cold-weather long. Be 100% sure with a heating tune-up from Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air. Aramendia Plumbing, Heating and Air now gives fall discounts on heating tune-ups. Call 210-404-4233 to make sure you and your family are warm and cozy throughout the season.
