Jacksonville may be in sunny Florida, but for those who are about to move to Jacksonville, they may be surprised at how cold it can get. Though you won’t be experiencing a white Christmas in Jacksonville, you will still get a case of the shivers unless you keep your home warm. No need to worry, our Jacksonville movers have a few tips to keep your home warm this winter season.

What to Unpack First 

Unpack your curtains, rugs, and blankets as soon as you can. Curtains help keep the heat in and keep your home warm, and rugs do the same. Keeping a few blankets around the house also help you stay toasty regardless of the temperature.

Keep The Heat In

Most people who move to Jacksonville or to any new home will leave their room doors open. That’s because they are still roaming their houses and there are probably boxes everywhere. To keep your home warm, close doors to rooms that are not being used. This will keep the cold temperature in those rooms from spreading to the other rooms in the house.

Programmable Air Conditioner

Get a programmable thermostat and air conditioner when you move to Jacksonville. In the winter, you can set the thermostat to keep the house warm when you are there, and in the hot summers you can set times to keep it cool. This will definitely come in handy in both seasons and it’s an overall smart investment to make when you move to Jacksonville. However, most apartments and homes should already have this installed upon arrival.
