When you’re trying to make your Pinebluff, North Carolina, home feel more comfortable, you don’t have to constantly adjust the thermostat. Instead, consider these helpful tips that will let you stabilize the temperature inside your home.
Use Your Curtains
The curtains in your home aren’t just there for privacy and decor; they also play an important role in helping you stabilize the temperature in your home. During the summer, you should keep your curtains closed to block out the UV rays that turn into heat – especially on windows that get direct sunlight. Even better, keeping the heat out during those warm months will also help your HVAC system work less, which can save you money. In the winter, open those curtains to let the sunlight naturally warm your house.
Open Your Interior Doors
Opening the interior doors is another simple way to keep the temperature stable in your home. Closed doors will block airflow, which creates unstable temperatures. Rooms near the thermostat will feel colder, while rooms that are farther away will feel warmer. However, when you open the doors inside your home, air can move freely, which helps create a more even temperature throughout your home.
Invest in a Smart Thermostat
Smart thermostats can also help stabilize the temperature inside your home. These thermostats can learn your schedule and only run your HVAC system when you’re home, which helps you save money and makes your house more comfortable. Smart thermostats can also learn the unique characteristics of your home. Once they learn the size and draftiness of your home, they can adjust how they heat and cool. These thermostats can also track the weather forecast to predict when they need to cool down the house or warm the house to make it the ideal temperature.
