Consider another option, install double-glazed windows to prepare your home for the winter.If you are one of the lucky ones who has a wood stove, call a professional to have it cleaned and inspected. The same happens with boilers. They have been unused for too long and may not work properly. In addition it is always good to carry out a review every so often. Take advantage and clean the gutters of the leaves, which clog the roofs and allow the ice that forms as a result of the cold to be installed on the roof longer. And another important trick, if you have pipes in garages or basements, wrap them with foam insulation or heating tapes, thus preventing them from freezing and spoiling.Needless to say, it is important that you maintain good habits at home so that the cold does not make an appearance. One option is to close the rooms that you are not using and those that do have heating, keep the doors closed. Keep an eye on those ventilation ducts located outside your house, which can also get cold outside. Close them during these months. Did you know that for example if you change the direction of the ceiling fan you can have a better temperature? By changing them in the opposite direction you will circulate warm air.And finally, always opt for a good and consistent diet, with typical dishes from this time of year. Opt for warm bedding, flannel is always a good choice, quilts and blankets even to watch TV in the living room. Tips like these will make your home a warm and comfortable space. Pay attention!
