Aaron’s Mechanical Services Says Take Care With Winter Heating

Did you know that keeping warm over winter months can help prevent colds, flu or more serious health problems like pneumonia. Find out some simple things you can do to keep warm and stay healthy and make the best use of your heating at home.

Keep warm at home during the day, heat your main living room to around 68-72º Fahrenheit and the rest of the house to at least 68º F heat all the rooms you use in the day. If you can’t heat all your rooms, make sure you keep your living room warm throughout the day and heat your bedroom before going to bed.

Set the timer on your heating to come on before you get up and switch off when you go to bed in very cold weather set the heating to come on earlier, rather than turn the thermostat up, so you won’t be cold while you wait for your home to heat up.

To stay warm during the night you should keep the temperature above 65° F in your bedroom overnight. If you use a fire or heater in your bedroom during winter, open the window or door a little at night for ventilation. Avoid using an electric blanket with a hot water bottle as you could electrocute yourself.

If you have an electric blanket, check what type it is – some are designed only to warm the bed before you get in and should not to be used throughout the night. Make sure your electric blanket is safe to use by getting it tested every three years.

Eat a well-balanced diet will help keep you warm and healthy in the winter. Make sure you and your family eat at least one hot meal a day. Soup can be nutritious and warming, and inexpensive to make or buy.

Staying active is good for your health, walking for example can be good for you. If the weather prevents you getting outside, stay active indoors - catch up on all the household tasks you've been putting off.

Talk - especially if you've been stuck in the house for a few days - telephone friends and family. If you have elderly relatives or neighbors who might need help, please check up on them.
