Although most people do not consider southern winters as true winters, temperatures get pretty cold from November through February. The coldest weather occurs during January and February. I didn’t expect the cool air until late October, but we are feeling it in certain cities in the South. Right now, the breezes are nice.
If you like to save money and stay warm during the cooler months of the year, I have a few tips for you. Last year, I covered my windows with durable plastic. The process is easy and everything you need is explained on the window kit package. Visit Wal-Mart, Lowes, Home Depot, and Ace Hardware to find these window kits. Another way to save energy and increase heat requires reversing your ceiling fans and closing air vents to rooms you do not use. If you have a guest room but no guest, close the vents in that room.
MovingToday also suggest testing your smoke detector for safety reasons. You should also know proper procedures for your gas or wood fireplace before using it. I have one more tip for you; I have a door dog for my interior and outer doors. It is a foam filled cloth that blocks the cool air from entering a room and the warm air from escaping a room. Have a warm and safe winter in your TriBridge Residential apartment.
