It can get quite warm in the home when hosting a big group! Renee Lucas, owner of LCS Heating and Cooling, joined us Thursday on “Life.Style.Live!” with tips to keep it comfortable inside:

• Turn the thermostat down a few degrees a few hours before people arrive.
• Take it off a program and put it on a “hold” for the day
• Use crock pots or instapots over the oven 
• Turn on ceiling fans and/or open a window
• Do not turn on the air conditioner!  Running the a/c when it’s cold outside is hard on the compressor

We all want to stay healthy throughout the holidays as well. Here are tips to keep it clean:

• Wipe down kitchen counters throughout the day
• Change the filter
• Invest in a whole-home air cleaner to clean the air throughout the entire home
