Nest Property Management Offer 10 Tips To Keep Your Home Warmer This Winter

Now that winter has seriously kicked in, Nest Property Management say it is time to think about making your home warmer, and they have generously put together 10 tips to assist you in this, beginning with allowing sunlight in during the day. Obviously, the sun shining into the house will warm it up, and just close the curtains again at night to keep the heat in. 

Similarly, you should invest in some thick (or thicker) curtains so the heat doesn’t escape, and thirdly, keep furniture away from your heater, as it needs a clear path to be able to spread heat everywhere. You should also insulate your hot water cylinder through the services of a Wellington plumber, as this will help to keep your water warmer for longer, and will help reduce costs.

You can block out draughts by purchasing rubber seals, and make a ‘snake’ for under the front door, and, heres a good tip. If you’ve been doing some baking/cooking in the oven, once you turn the oven off, leave the door open! Also, if you have an old fireplace and chimney that’s not being used, you need to cover it up. Finally, and obviously, if you have a spare room(s) or rooms that don’t get used, keep their doors closed! If you don’t need to heat them up, then leaving the doors open only spreads your warm air into them, reducing the amount of heat in the rest of your house.
