Longer evening darkness, cooler temperatures and leaves steadily falling from trees are all reminders winter and the holiday season are on their way! During this busy time of the year, you may be hosting dinner parties, out of town guests and other fun festivities so you’ll want to make sure your New Jersey home is as cozy as possible. You can stay calm and count on NJR Home Services to keep your family and guests in their comfort zone so you can relax and enjoy the special moments in your home sweet home. Below are some tips to keep the heat flowing and help you save energy and stay comfortable.

• Check for drafts. Prevent cold air from entering your home with simple upgrades like adding new weather stripping and caulking around windows and doors.
• Clean return air registers. This will help to reduce allergens and can help improve the efficiency of your heating system.
• Change your indoor air filter regularly. A fresh indoor air filter helps keep the coil and heat exchanger clean, which can increase energy-efficiency and help to extend the life of your HVAC equipment.
• Consider upgrading your heating and cooling system. If your heating system and cooling system are more than ten years old, your systems have needed repairs or you’ve been struggling to achieve comfortable temperatures in your home, it’s a good idea to start thinking about a replacement plan now. New HVAC systems are more energy-efficient and you may be able to take advantage of incentives, rebates and financing.
• Keep an eye on your water heater. Using your washer and washing machine more often, as well as guests showering, can dramatically increase hot water usage during the holidays. If your water heater is more than ten years old and is taking longer to warm up than it used to, you may want to think about upgrading your unit to a more energy-efficient model.
• Turn your thermostat down. If you’re cooking a lot during the holidays and running the oven for long periods, turn down your heat. Your oven will provide enough extra heat and turning down your system will not only save on heating costs but will also give your heating system a much-needed break.
• Cook some dishes ahead of time. Ovens filled with turkeys, roasts and side dishes can quickly heat up your kitchen. Reduce heat output by preparing some dishes ahead that can be quickly reheated in a microwave or kept warm in a crockpot.
• Stock up on extra blankets. If you plan on having guests overnight, be sure to have clean, warm blankets so everyone is comfortable during the night.
