Today’s tip focuses on dealing with cold spots around your home. If you have areas of your home that are constantly colder than the rest of the house you can take some steps to ensure the heat distributes equally around the house. First, fully open all your dampers and registers and turn the heat on in your house for a few hours. Then walk around your house to find which rooms and spots are the coldest. If your home has multiple thermostats you should then adjust the thermostats so that the colder areas become equally warm to the warmer areas. Finally, to even out any additional cold spots within an area, adjust the dampers and registers in the hotter rooms to bring them down to the same level. It is important to do this before temperatures get really cold outside to avoid having to deal with areas of your home becoming an uncomfortable temperature.
