Good advice from the local leaders in heating and Good advice from the local leaders in heating and cooling, @homecomfortservices — Bundle up, Chicago! Meteorologists are calling this January one of the coldest in years, with freezing temps, piles of snow, and plenty of ice on the way. Here are some simple tips to keep your home warm and safe during this frigid weather: ✅ Keep temps steady: Avoid cranking the thermostat up and down. Your heating system works more effectively when you maintain a consistent temperature. ✅ Hang heavy curtains: They create an extra barrier against the cold. This is especially useful if you have older windows. ✅ Seal gaps along doors and windows: Use weatherstripping or draft stoppers to block chilly air from creeping in. ✅ Reverse your ceiling fan: Switch it to clockwise to push warm air down from the ceiling. ✅ Protect your pipes from freezing: On very cold nights, open cabinet doors under sinks and let your faucets drip. If you’re caught off guard by a heating issue, our team is here for you with 24/7 emergency services. Stay safe and stay warm, everyone!
