My local part experiences temperature swings from negative twenty-more than four up to the low nineties; Our weather forecast constantly calls for sleet, hail, snow, high winds, high humidity, thunderstorms, rain, cold rain & blizzard conditions! The two of us switch from running the oil furnace to relying on the a/c with absolutely little split in-between.
- The option to open the windows & bring in some fresh air is rare… Because of the high cost of heating & cooling, I’ve taken every precaution to tighten up my lake home & prevent energy waste, and i’ve added insulation to the walls, ceilings & attic, paying particular attention to power outlets & plumbing pipes.
I’ve installed ceiling fans to help distribute the heat during the Winter time & create a cooling effect during the summer. I constantly walk around & look for spots that might need caulk or weatherstripping. Thermal-lined curtains help to prevent energy losses from the windows during the colder weeks. My efforts have helped to lessen demands on the heating & cooling system, and however, the tightly sealed home traps contaminants inside. The air becomes stuffy, musty & polluted, everything from the family dog to cleaning, cooking & pesticides contribute to air quality troubles. I worry about my family’s health. The solution was the replacement of an air cleaner. The air quality accessory is incorporated right into the heating/cooling unit to treat the air as it passes through & give improvement for the entire house. It works to trap particulates, eliminate smells & kill pathogens such as mold spores, viruses & bacteria. I don’t have to clean as often, the home aromas fresher & I’ve noticed that my family suffers from fewer colds, coughs & headaches.
