The stage between making the decision, buying the new heating technology, & installing it, was so stressful for us with curious toddlers around that I am hoping it’s saved us from any near future heating repair
We made the room next to the attic a playroom for our toddlers because the window is guarded, & the staircase landing was the easiest to add a high gate to. They can’t climb off. However, it started getting breezy in the attic, & the playroom got cooler. My associate and I could not get the source of it because the window was well shut, & no obvious spaces were letting in the chilly air… After two weeks of avoiding the playroom, we had to find a solution, & the first place we thought about seeking help was the local heating contractor shop. The whole apartment was linked to the central boiler, which is a furnace, although we have been thinking about adding a heat pump. My husband was right in thinking that the issue needed an Heating & A/C tech & nothing else because an inspection of the air duct leading up to the attic was broken however could be sorted with duct sealing. The Heating & A/C serviceman explained that he was simply air sealing, which would counter the breeze we were feeling & the reason why the playroom was cooler than we expected. Looking at the state of our attic, the heating industry expert also commanded that we consider insulating the space if we wanted to get the most out of our heating device. Of course, we jumped on that opportunity & stressed it along with heating repair, replacement of a heat pump, & its digital thermostat. The stage between making the decision, buying the new heating technology, & installing it, was so stressful for us with curious toddlers around that I am hoping it’s saved us from any near future heating repair. My associate and I ended the project by signing up for apartment services to keep ready for anything.
