Summer has finally ended. Chilly winds, awesome weather, Winter dresses out of the closet, pancakes, nachos and there you go, the first rain of Winter arrives and all of a sudden you run for turning on the heating appliances but wait! What? Don’t tell that the Furnace is not working! No! It's -3 degrees Fahrenheit people, the time we desperately want our homes to be fully cosy and comfortably warm. Unfortunately, this is the situation that many homeowners have to face; of the unavailability of heating appliances primarily because the appliances were not given an in-time tune-up. So what to do when this happens? How to keep yourself warm when the Furnace/Heater/Boiler ceases to work? Here are some tips to help you fight such circumstances like a smart homeowner.
Pack yourself
Did you get it? Yes! cover yourself with undershirts, warmers, tights, knee length socks and fitted warm clothes to avoid the ice-age you are in. Wear woollen mufflers outside and knitted caps inside as they are the warmest of all. Even for the normal conditions, experts say it is better to cover yourself with warm clothes than to run heating appliances all the time.
Close the doors
Yes, If you want to protect yourself from cold and numbing air slinking in from the cracks of your doors, windows and skylights, close them! Cover the bottom spaces of doors with foot mats and tightly lock slides of windows to keep the room temperature from decreasing. Also, do not forget the skylights as they play a vital role in cooling the house by pulling the hot air out. Make sure no indoor heat is losing through doors.
