While Florida isn’t known to be a wintry wonderland, Floridians certainly experience a temperature drop in the months leading to the winter holidays and into the new year. With that temperature drop comes additional heating costs to warm your home to a comfortable level.

By keeping your curtains and blinds open during sunny winter days, you can maintain warmth inside your Tampa home without turning on your HVAC system. Plus, you’re able to keep your stunning beach views visible.
