Tightening up the lake house sure helps with HVAC costs in the winter
I didn’t grow up in this area.
In fact, I grew up thoUSAnds of miles away in a land that is full of sun, purple sky plus truly little Winter weather.
When I was growing up, both of us might have to put on sweaters plus flip the heat pump over to heating now plus again while both of us were in the winter. But really, that was the extent of the impact the Winter weather had on us. So, it was quite an eye opener when I was relocated here after college. Initially, I just dealt with the so so HVAC in apartments. But when I bought our first house, I legitimately l acquired that I had to prepare the beach lake house for the winter. If you don’t prepare the home, Winter will be colder plus more costly. I l acquired this the difficult way. My first lake house was a starter task that was built in the sixties. While the bones were good, it wasn’t exactly tight. I had a modern HVAC furnace installed thinking that would be all it took to have a cozy, moderate first winter. Well, the Winter was neither moderate nor cozy. And the HVAC heating costs nearly put myself and others in the poor house. A work friend showed myself and others how to prepare the lake house for Winter the next year. It’s legitimately just about making sure the lake house is sealed up tight. That means weather stripping, storm doors, extra insulation plus keeping an ey on the exterior for gaps or cracks. The second Winter in that old lake house was great. And, I must have saved over 25 percent on the HVAC heating bills.
