Winter Apartment Tips
With the holidays just around the corner, many of you may be getting ready to travel! Use the winter tips below to stay warm and minimize your bills while you’re away!
1. Do not turn your heat below 60 degrees -
Often during the winter months, the temperatures dip down to sub zero temperatures, which can easily cause pipes to freeze and break.
2. Enjoy the sunshine -
Keeping your blinds and curtains open on sunny days will help warm your apartment. Keep your blinds and curtains closed when the sun is down to keep the heat inside.
3. Reverse your ceiling fans -
Flipping the switch on your ceiling fans will pull the cool air upwards while dispersing the warm air at the top of the room outward toward then downward.
4. Consider using a humidifier -
Humid air feels warmer and holds heat better, which eases dry skin and allergies.
5. Cover up with curtains -
Having curtains insulated or with a blackout panel will add extra warmth to your apartment as it will help insulate the windows.
