Improving insulation in the home
Improving insulation in the home
Wintertimes get too cold in my area, and it is almost impossible to survive without some form of heating.
For this reason, it helps to have a sound heating and A/C method that can improve your comfort levels.
Unluckily, this may not necessarily be a cheap affair, this is something I found out the strenuous way last wintertime when my energy bill skyrocketed. At first, I thought it was a faulty issue with the heating unit, but my troubleshooting attempts proved futile. I was worried that if this continued, then it would be an expensive affair to keep me warm in wintertime. I did not want to use all my savings in keeping us warm because there was no other alternative. I talked to my mom, and she suggested that I contact the heating and A/C specialist to help me understand the issue with the unit. The serviceman came to my home in good time and as promised. A few minutes later, he had a list of possible things he thought would improve the situation, but he first proposed additional insulation, which is what we made the decision to go on to do. We increased the insulation in the attic and the walls, ensuring that we covered the cracks and chances he pointed out. There was a lot of heat transfer getting lost through bad insulation, but secondly, he proposed me to get into a regular maintenance schedule as this will point out problems in good time and have them repaired; Ensure you keep up with heating and A/C maintenance schedules and never skip a tune-up session, especially before wintertime. He also proposed that we invest in a programmable temperature control since ours was a dial one.
