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.

Great sales member named Dave came in told us some amazing items and how they would be priced installed an all. We couldnt believe it! The next day the ac was installed, that day one employee named Greg told us that our furnace was working way to hard and was causing us to use way too much gas. So two days later they came in an installed a new furnace!

They removed and discarded old furnace. Installed new furnace. Installed air intake pipe, that had never been installed by builder, no charge. Replaced loose hose on floor with hard pipe and rerouted it to drain, no charge. Almost 33% cheaper then quote from Enercare, which was the company we dealt with and had insurance with for 8 years. No yearly fee for cleaning/insurance, saves 300 a year. Courteous, professional, fast, and friendly. My wife and I have been recommending them to everyone we know and meet, and will continue to do so. Thanks for everything, Twintech!!!

Finally! An honest company with highly knowledgeable and informative staff. Had a furnace service and found multiply errors in our system from an amateur installer. Very fair price to correct problems and will definitely use again.

During the summer, I previously hired TwinTech to replace my air conditioner when it failed. They did an excellent job so when I decided to proactively replace the furnace I contacted them. The furnace I had was 22 years old and showed signs of internal leakage. It still worked but rather than wait to have it fail in cold weather, I decided to purchase a higher efficiency model before it failed and take advantage of energy efficiency rebates. TwinTech offered very useful advice on the make and model of furnace to choose including high efficiency and variable speed motor. The price was reasonable, TwinTech arrived at the allotted time, installed the new furnace (including some re-routing of exhaust lines since the existing ones were too close to other vents), removed the old furnace, tested the installation and cleaned everything up. Overall, it was a good experience, they did a great job and the new furnace is working well.
