Keeping Warm This Fall: Things to Remember
Posted On: October 5, 2016
We can feel it in the air – the cold season is fast approaching. Keeping a home warm is not as easy as 1,2,3 especially if the home is older and doesn’t really have very good insulation. Here are some tips on how you can save money while you are kept warm and comfortable all winter long:
Let the sunlight in.
Once the sun rises, you want to capture as much of its heat as possible. Did we mention it’s FREE? Despite the cold weather, the sun remains warm. Before leaving your house for the day, don’t forget to open up those curtains to let the light shine in. If there are parts of your house that don’t get sunlight, there’s no need to open up those curtains. Just do so where the sunlight streams in for a good part of the day.
Draw the curtains at night.
Once the sun goes down, on the other hand, all the heat from the day can be kept from leaving through the windows by closing the drapes. You can also invest in insulated curtains for use during winter. You can also put up temporary curtains, sheets and rugs over doors outside even just at night as you sleep.
Keep doors closed.
If you are frequenting certain rooms in your house, you can close the doors to create a little sauna. Simply leave the doors closed at night and let the heat run like normal. There won’t be as many gaps for heat to escape – you will feel the warmth in the morning.
Utilize space heaters with caution.
If you want to keep individual rooms warm, space heaters will do the trick. The only danger, however, is that they are a high-risk fire hazard. Just ensure that any flammable material is kept at least three feet away. Never leave space heaters on overnight or when you leave your home.
Your oven can help.
Broiling, baking and concocting things can definitely keep your house warmer, especially in those rooms nearest the kitchen.
Add layers to wood floors.
If your wood floors aren’t insulated, they can account for up to 10% of your home’s heat loss. Carpets and rugs keep rooms warmer – use them. They are great for trapping heat than creaky wood floors. During cold seasons, add a rug or a roll of carpet to your floor.

I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.

This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us.

Our furnace was rattling, as soon as we put our air conditioner on this past week. We had researched looking for a company that was Registered with Better Business Bureau, and this company TwinTech, had A+ Rating. Scott, was immediately helpful via text/phone and sent his technician as soon as he was able...Mitchell/technician provided great professional service. Thank you TwinTech.

I contacted various companies when looking to install a new furnace and I found Twintech to be transparent with their communication and approach. They had options to suit my various requirements and the price vs quality was very good. The after installation communication was also very good and they answered all queries I had.

My furnace broke down last month. The team was quick to respond, courteous, professional and mindful of COVID-19 concerns. I highly recommend them if you are considering replacing or servicing your HVAC equipment.
