10 Tips to Help Keep You & Your Family Warm All Winter Long

Do you hate the cold?
 

Are you having trouble finding a comfortable temperature in your home for your family?

We live in Michigan, so we know that winters can be especially rough. At CMR Mechanical, we want to ensure that you and your family are safe and warm, because no one should be without heat. 

According to the National Center for Health Statistics, based on death certificate data from 2006-10, about 2,000 U.S. residents died each year from weather-related causes. The report also found that 63% of these deaths could be attributed to exposure to excessive natural cold, hypothermia or both.

Please take the necessary precautions in cold winter months by following these tips suggested by Energy.gov:

1. Cover your drafty windows with insulated drapes.
   
2. Set your thermostat low when you’re home and awake.
3. Turn your thermostat back 10° to 15° at night when it gets the coldest.
4. Set your thermostat to at least 55 degrees when you’re away for an extended period.
5. Seal air leaks around utility cut-throughs for pipes, gaps around chimneys and recessed lights in insulated ceilings, and unfinished spaces behind cupboards and closets.
6. Add caulk or weather-stripping to seal air leaks around your doors and windows.
7. Keep your furnace damper closed, unless a fire is burning.
8. Don’t block your air vents with large objects.
9. Turn down the temperature of your water heater to the warm setting (120°F.)
10. Schedule a clean and check with your favorite company for heating and cooling in Ann Arbor.
