Staying Warm in Chicago Winters

Published by Luke Weiden

Chicago is known for extremely frigid temperatures in the winter months, so having a functional HVAC system is pivotal to the comfort of you and your family. From boiler repairs in Chicago to installing new systems altogether, rely on us to take care of every aspect of your comfort! Here are some tips on how to stay warm this winter.

Keep Heat Inside

Even if you have an established HVAC system, it’s important to determine There are two main culprits that could cause you to lose heat:

  1. Dirty Furnace Filters: Did you know that 93% of all homes that lose power to their furnace have never changed their filter? Filters are essential in protecting your furnace from debris, making sure it will run strong for years to come. Changing your filter is easy and affordable. Buy filters online at deljoheating.com and consult your Deljo representative for instructions.
  2. Lack of Maintenance: You would never let your car go 10,000 miles without an oil change and tune-up. Why do the same to your furnace? Annual maintenance will help even the hardest working furnace last longer. Our team can provide you with the maintenance that you need to help catch problems before the arise, saving you money and providing you with peace of mind.

Reduce Dust

Another easy way to stay warm and get the most out of your HVAC unit during the winter is by keeping dust to a minimum. If coils or other parts of your HVAC system are coated with a layer of dust, they won’t work as efficiently as if they were clean. Make sure to take the time to dust on a regular occasion to see the benefits in your monthly energy bill. 

Consider a Zoning System

Instead of having your entire home set to one temperature, a zoning system is an easy way to cut back on your energy bill while still staying comfortable indoors. Zoning systems allow you to target specific rooms or areas of your home instead of taking a one-size-fits-all approach to heating and cooling. This is especially helpful if you have stubborn areas of your home that typically didn’t respond well to your traditional system.
