As Florida homeowners, it’s only natural to worry more about your AC than your heating unit. However, if you don’t maintain your heating system, you may find yourself left in the cold one winter. Del-Air has been helping keep Floridians warm and comfortable since 1983. Here are some heating tips for staying warm this winter while your HVAC system is being repaired by the heating service professionals:
1. Portable heater
Do many of the rooms in your home go unused throughout the winter? If so, a portable space heater may be a good, temporary solution while your HVAC is being replaced. Affordable and effective, space heaters should be placed in rooms your family uses on a regular basis. Just be sure to position the portable heater several feet from your body and keep blankets and other flammable items out of its path.
2. Electric blanket
Feeling the chill this winter? Consider warming up with an electric blanket while your heater is being repaired. As an added bonus, the average electric blanket uses less than 100 watts of energy, meaning you’ll save big on your utility bills.
3. Fireplace
Fireplaces aren’t just good for ambiance and appearance; they also offer an easy, affordable way to warm your home during the winter months. For best results, keep the damper closed, as an open one allows your newly warmed air to shoot right up the chimney.
4. Bundle up
Is there a winter chill in the air? Consider donning a few extra layers while trying to stay warm until your HVAC system is operational again. Wear sweaters and sweatshirts because they help keep in your own body heat, so you won’t need to crank the heater up on high once it’s working again.
5. Cuddle with your sweetheart
While there’s no substitute for a trustworthy HVAC system, there are steps you can take to combat the chill while you’re heater is being repaired. To stay warm and toasty this winter, grab a blanket and cuddle up on the couch with someone you love.
