Comfort Maximized From New Plants to Furnace Service

December 11, 2015

Days are shorter and colder and it seems difficult to keep your home comfortable and cozy. We’ve got a few tips that can help beyond completing annual furnace service. These tips will enhance the comfort your furnace provides.

Here are four tips for staying cozy this winter in York:

  • Seal air leaks. So much warm air escapes your home through cracks around your windows and doors. This can be an expensive problem when you look at your utility bill. Luckily, it’s not costly to fix it. Generally, new weatherstripping or caulking is all it takes.
  • Change your furnace filter. •This is imperative to improving your furnace’s efficiency, and therefore helping you save money. What’s even better is that it’s super easy to do yourself. Check your filter regularly and change it when the manufacturer recommends it.
  • Get plants. Houseplants are great because they look nice, and they can actually boost your indoor air quality. Many common houseplants will absorb some of the airborne toxins that are released from ordinary household cleaners, paints and other products.
  • Furnace service. You should arrange regular furnace service yearly. This will ensure your furnace is working correctly, and if it’s not, identify problem areas before they worsen.

Keeping your home comfortable during the winter doesn’t have to be time-consuming task. Call Strine's Heating & Air Conditioning at 717-383-4479 to get more information about keeping your home comfortable or to schedule furnace service.
