Winter in Central Illinois can be a headache, especially considering how cold it can get. It’s always beneficial to make sure that your home is properly insulated. The following are tips for insulating your home to protect yourself, your loved ones, and your property from the cold temperatures that we all know are coming.

Make sure to maintain your HVAC System

This will help air quality, but it will also make sure that the whole system is running as best as it possibly can.

Use heavier curtains

Heavier curtains can help to keep heat in and cool air out, especially in areas where there might be poor insulation in a window.

Seal doorways

Using foam weather strips to make sure that air isn’t leaking in through your doors can really help to insulate your home during the winter months.

Add an extra layer of protection to your windows

Just like sealing your doors, it can be very beneficial to add a layer of plastic sheeting to your windows throughout the winter months. It can be some of the best defense against seal leaks in your windows throughout your home.
