Insulating the attic made a noticeable improvement in comfort as well as efficiency.
The average year-round temperature in my local part fluctuates from the low nineties to disadvantage twenty degrees, however my great friend and I experience excessive humidity in the summer time as well as brutal windchill in the winter, our local weather forecast often calls for thunderstorms, high winds, hail, chilly rain, blizzard conditions as well as snow flurries. My great friend and I rely on the cooling system for about three months of the year as well as run the furnace for approximately eight months… It’s precious as well as exciting when the conditions are mild enough to go without heating or cooling. I appreciate opening the windows as well as welcoming in a fresh breeze, however because of the dire weather, heating as well as cooling account for about fifty percent of apartment energy consumption, but the cost of weekly energy costs is a big drain on the budget. I am always searching for modern as well as better ways to tighten up the thermal envelope as well as reduce demands on the furnace as well as cooling system. I spent a significant amount of money replacing all of the windows in the house. I upgraded to thermal pane, low E, Energy Star rated windows as well as unquestionably carefully caulked around them. I’ve also installed more energy efficient exterior doors as well as weatherstripped. I use ceiling fans to help distribute the heat in the winter as well as help with cooling in the summer. Insulating the attic made a noticeable improvement in comfort as well as efficiency. I am also diligent about replacing filters in the cooling system as well as furnace every six weeks. I schedule professional maintenance for the furnace in the fall as well as for the cooling system in the Spring. I make sure the specialist tests as well as inspects the ductwork as well.
