Four Tips to Stay Warm in a Home Heating Emergency

Have you ever experienced a broken furnace or malfunctioning HVAC system in the middle of winter? Winter holidays are an especially bad time to worry about a full house of cold guests! Luckily, you have Air Comfort on your side. In the event of an emergency, call or Emergency Repair Service Hotline in Georgia (706-952-4197), or Tennessee (423-755-7488).

In the meantime, there are a number of things you can do to stay warm even with the temporary trouble.

Get together.
Since people and pets all generate body heat, if everyone occupies a small enclosed space inside your home, it will feel much warmer. Close off the doors to the rest of your home while you’re at it.

Get moving.
The more you move, the more body heat you make. Use exercise equipment, start dancing–try to make it fun!

Get cooking.
This is the best time to make a batch of soup or stew on the stovetop, or bake dinner in the oven. It will also happen to help heat up your home a few degrees. Note, however, that you should never use an oven or stove as an actual heat source so don’t crank up the heat with no food inside.

Get layered.
It may seem obvious, layers add warmth. So get out the sweaters and coats if you need to. And don’t forget about the floors. Put down rugs or blankets on tile or wood floors to stay cozy too.

The best way to avoid heating breakdown is to have a qualified technician perform routine maintenance on your system.
