Winter is Here!

Winter is here, and it’s cold outside! As the temperature drops, your home should be an escape from the elements (and the White Walkers!), but with the rising cost of electricity it’s understandable if you’re reluctant to turn on the reverse cycle air conditioner as often as you’d like. That’s why we’ve put together some clever tips to help you reduce your winter heating bill while keeping your house toasty warm.

     

 

GET THE SUN WORKING FOR YOU

On sunny days (not that they are often this winter), make sure you open your curtains and blinds. That way you can harness the natural heat of the sun and your air con doesn’t have to work as hard to heat your home. Don’t forget to close the curtains as the sun goes down to trap all that lovely heat inside.  

THINK ABOUT BETTER AIRFLOW

Keep in mind the “heat rises” lesson we all learned in primary school and use standing fans or ceiling fans to cut your air conditioners workload by taking advantage of airflow. Quite simply, make sure that you are using your air conditioner’s directional airflow feature to push warm air down.  

HOLD THE DOOR!

One of the biggest drains on your heating appliance is your house itself. Poor insulation, cracked seals, cold floors and drafty doors are all energy-wasting culprits. You’ll save a bundle if you attend to these trouble spots around the house. Even if you can’t replace your seals or insulation, you can still make a big difference by repairing window seals, hanging thick curtains, covering the floors with rugs and blocking out drafts with door snakes, or Hodor...

Staying Warm in Winter

Bitter cold temperatures. Icy winds. Blowing snow. Winter has many ways of exposing you to the cold. But just because the winter weather is cold, doesn't mean  you  have to be. When the mercury drops, Mr. Goodair advises you try these tips — they'll keep you toasty and warm. LAYER UP While this might be an obvious tip, layering your clothes works the best. Wear quite a lot of thin layers because then you can trap the air in between the layers. It also means layers of clothing can be removed once someone is warmed up. The real key to handling the cold is layers of clothing — scarf, hat, gloves, jumper, coats, etc. Always make sure you have a back-up coat at work for any extra layer required.   COVER UP Any part of the body which is exposed will feel the chill, which means the hands and ears often feel the coldest. The back of the neck and lower back are the parts that are susceptible to the cold, and it is recommended that we cover those to feel warmer.
