The holidays are a time for gathering with loved ones, and if you’re hosting guests this season, your HVAC system will likely see extra use. Here’s how to keep your home warm and comfortable for everyone:
1. Adjust the Thermostat
With more people in the house, your home may naturally feel warmer. Lowering the thermostat slightly can help maintain a comfortable temperature and save on energy costs. If you have a programmable thermostat, set it to a lower temperature during the night or when the house is empty.
2. Prep the Guest Rooms
Ensure guest rooms are warm and inviting by checking that vents are open and airflow is unobstructed. Adding an extra blanket or space heater can provide extra comfort for your guests. Don’t forget to test the room’s temperature ahead of time to avoid last-minute surprises.
3. Maintain Indoor Air Quality
Cooking, candles, and increased foot traffic can affect air quality. Change your HVAC filters and consider using an air purifier to keep your home fresh and healthy. Adding a humidifier can also help combat dry winter air, ensuring your guests feel comfortable.
4. Plan for High Demand
If your HVAC system hasn’t been serviced recently, now’s the time. A well-maintained system can handle the increased workload and keep everyone comfortable. Our team at Dinomite offers quick and reliable service to keep your home running smoothly.
5. Communicate Comfort Preferences
Every guest has different comfort preferences. Provide easy-to-adjust options like portable heaters or fans so your guests can control their environment. A little extra effort goes a long way in making them feel at home.
