In our local area, heating and cooling bills are a important concern; The cost of temperature control adds up to approximately half of our energy budget! With severe weather in both Winter and summer, our family relies heavily on the oil furnace and
When the temperature climbs up to 90 degrees and the humidity is downright brutal, both of us want to enjoy the relief of perfectly cool home. When the outdoor temperature drops down to twenty below zero, both of us hope to stay warm and comfortable inside the house; Last Winter was especially cold and snowy, and the oil furnace had some trouble keeping up with demand, however i hired an Heating as well as A/C company to service the system, including the air duct, other than a minor buildup of dust, he didn’t find any problems, and he recommended that the issue might be the crawlspace of the home, but my home sits on a vented, dirt crawl space. The way it is constructed allows outside air to enter but not escape. That cold, damp air was flowing into the living part and forcing the furnace to toil twice as hard. I noticed that the floors were especially cold and the oil furnace was running for much longer cycles. My bi-weekly heating bills were a clear indication of a problem. I was investing a luck and yet our whole family kept asking me to turn up the control unit. I did some research and found an Heating as well as A/C company who specializes in crawl space encapsulation. This process seals off outside air, isolates the lake house from the crawl pace and eliminates issues with moisture. Once the crawl space was effective sealed, I saw a thirty percent decrease in our annual energy bills… Plus, our living part is far more comfortable all year round.
