COLD WEATHER IS COMING!
It’s that time of year when we trade in our iced teas for hot chocolate, which means that we are coming up on HEATING SEASON! We know reducing costs, while keeping a safe environment, is important to you. Here are a few tips to help:
- It is completely normal to smell something burning the first time you turn on your furnace, for a few minutes anyway. If after about 20 minutes you still smell it, call the office and we’ll send a maintenance technician to look at it.
- Never turn your furnace off in cold weather or let the room temperature fall below 55°. National Fuel Gas recommends keeping your thermostat at 68° during the winter to keep your costs low.
- Keep your bedroom and bathroom doors open to let the air circulate and keep you warmer.
- On very cold days, open the vanity doors under the bathroom sinks (in Lakeview, Scenery Hills, and Shadow Pines) • Make sure the heating vents in all bathrooms are left open.
- Be sure to keep your garage door closed at all times (Village residents— crack door when running dryer) • Air conditioning cannot be used in winter months.
