Beat the Australian Cold – 6 Tips to Keep Heat this Winter

If you find that each year when winter comes around, your home fails to retain the heat, there might be certain things that you need to focus on. Air conditioning Sydney Systems are efficient and effective. However, many other aspects need to be in place if you want to maintain a comfortable home temperature during the winter months.

Tips To Maintain The Heat in Your Home 

We at Climacool Air Conditioning recommend that our clients get their residential and commercial air conditioning system serviced and maintained with regularity. Here are some useful tips to keep your home warm this winter:

• Insulation– Almost 25-35% of the warmth in the house’s indoor areas can be lost through the roof if the insulation is not adequate. When you insulate your home correctly, it helps retain warmth during the winter months and keeps your home cool during summertime, making it a good investment.

Installing ceiling, floor, and wall insulation is an excellent way to save a significant amount of money annually.  While it is best to fit this during a renovation project, you can also retrofit it in an existing home.

• Focus on the airflow in your house- This is a crucial aspect because many people tend to move their furniture around and place it closer to the heater during the winter months. Sometimes they end up putting with laundry right in front of the heater on rainy days. However, these things hamper the flow of hot air in your home.

If you want to get the most out of your Ducted air conditioning system, ensure that nothing is blocking the airflow. You can also improve your heating efficiency by closing the doors of rooms you are using at a specific time. Install a zoning system in your house to help you control the airflow to specific areas in your home.

• Install rugs in various areas– If your home is not carpeted, you should consider placing a few rugs around the place to cover your floors during the winter months. It adds comfort to the room and feels luxurious while adding warmth to the space.

• Use the Right Curtains– Using the right kind of drapery is crucial during summertime. However, it is equally essential during winter, as almost 40% of heat energy can easily be lost through windows. Draw the drapes so that the warmth stays in. You can also add a pelmet at the top of the window as it helps prevent air from escaping through them.

• Eliminate Drafts– Track down which areas are drafty in your home and focus more on the windows and doors. Seal those up with products that you can find in hardware stores. Weather seal tape, roller door seals, stormproof seals, door snakes, caulk and silicone sealant, are just some of the products that you can use to prevent leakage of hot air from your home
