Tips for Hosting the Most Comfortable Thanksgiving Ever!
November is finally here! There are so many things to celebrate, like scoring a great Black Friday deal on that electric scooter you’ve had your eye on or getting into a heated argument over whether turkey or ham is the superior main dish on Thanksgiving.
If you’re hosting a Thanksgiving meal for your family or friends this year, there’s more to keep in mind than just food and décor. You may want to consider a tune-up for your HVAC system or a thorough drain cleaning for your Tampa, FL, home’s plumbing. Check out these steps you can take to keep your guests cozy while visiting your home for the holiday.
Comfort Tips Your Guests Will be Thankful For
- Prepare Your Thermostat Ahead of Time
Whether it’s your first time hosting or you’ve been through this rodeo before, you probably have a good idea of how many guests you’re expecting. The more siblings, children, aunts and long-lost cousins you can pack into your dining room, the warmer your home will become. Lowering the temperature on your thermostat a bit can keep things comfortable throughout the day. - Keep It Comfy Indoors
By continually opening and closing your front door, your indoor air temperature will fluctuate, forcing your HVAC system to work hard to maintain the ideal temperature. If it gets too warm, you can consider cracking the door or a window for a short amount of time instead of cranking up the AC. - Cook Smarter, Not Harder
Have you ever had to change your dinner plans because you didn’t want to use your oven on a particularly warm evening? You’re not alone. Using the oven can get your kitchen and your home pretty toasty. Plan to cook as many dishes together as possible to limit the uptime of your oven. And consider using the window cracking trick if things still get too warm. - Reduce Airborne Pollutants
Regular dusting and cleaning, a clean air filter and equipment like an air scrubber or UV light system can help limit dust, allergens, bacteria and flu-causing particles from entering the air you breathe and making your holiday less enjoyable.
