Alright, alright, we all know that folks north of us and in the Midwest probably laugh at what we call \u201ccold,\u201d but let\u2019s face it, we do deal with chillier temperatures in the wintertime. When we\u2019re used to calling a 95\u00b0 day \u201cpretty hot\u201d and an 80\u00b0 day \u201cmild,\u201d then it\u2019s no wonder we\u2019re shivering when temperatures outside dip below 65\u00b0! Plus, if it\u2019s rainy or overcast then there\u2019s no natural radiant heat flowing into our home from south-facing windows. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, we want our heating systems to work, and we want them to work well, <\/em>right? When yours is in need of a\nrepair\u2014or even worse, when yours has broken down completely, it can feel like\nan emergency. That\u2019s when it\u2019s time to give our team a call. While you wait for\nour team to show up though, it\u2019s natural to want to know how to stay warm. Read\non as we uncover some tips to do just that. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Use Your Oven*<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have some cookies you were planning on baking? Or perhaps\nyou have a yummy meal you can cook in the oven, on the stovetop, or in your\nslow cooker. These are all ways to naturally heat up your home while your\nheater is out of service. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, as long as you have no small children or pets in the\nhome (this is important!) you can consider leaving the oven door cracked open a\nbit as it cools off. The heat will dissipate into your home and help keep it\nwarm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Another thing you can do in addition to all this is use the\nswitch in the middle of your ceiling fans to reverse the direction of the\nblades. This helps to better distribute recirculated heat that\u2019s gathered up at\nthe ceiling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

*Disclaimer: Never use\nany cooking appliances solely for the purpose of heating your home! This can\nlead to potential fire hazards or gas leaks. <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bundle Up<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLayering\u201d is not something we\u2019re very familiar with here in\nthe good ol\u2019 Sunshine State, but it will certainly help keep you warm if your\nheater breaks down! Is it silly to pile on the long sleeve shirts, sweatshirts,\nand blankets while you\u2019re in your home? Maybe, but if that leads to your\ncomfort, it could be worth it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remember, heat leaves through your head, feet, and hands. So when you\u2019re bundling up, don\u2019t forget these areas. Fish out those gloves, put on the fuzzy socks, and find that old beanie you got a few birthdays ago that you never remember to wear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Move Your Body! <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Have you been thinking about starting a new at-home workout\nroutine? Maybe now is the time to start! Moving your body is a great way to\nnaturally raise your internal temperature and stay warm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re a household with children (or not, we don\u2019t judge!) you could even make a game out of moving your bodies by holding an indoor \u201cdance party.\u201d Move the breakables out of the room, push the furniture to the walls to avoid injury, and have fun! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
