You’ve probably already taken the usual measures to prepare your home for winter, like regular heating maintenance, but have you thought about the additional steps you can take to make sure your home is truly comfortable?
Many people go to great lengths in the quest to enhance home comfort levels. Whether you rip out old insulation and replace it with new materials or upgrade your HVAC system, there’s no shortage of options for boosting home performance. One of the most important factors of a well-performing home is how airtight it is, which can only be achieved with professional air sealing.
Heating and cooling costs are the largest energy expense for most homes, accounting for about 48% of energy use. The stack effect causes heat to escape through the roof, pulling cold, outdoor air inside.
It seems as if almost every house in the country is characterized by one common issue: a room that gets way too hot in the summertime and is impossible to properly heat during the winter. It could be a bathroom, for example, or it could be a room located above a garage—perhaps it’s part of an addition. Either way, a room that never seems to be at a comfortable temperature is something that no Vacaville, Winters or Dixon homeowner should have to deal with.
So, what’s the solution to this all-too-common problem? The answer can be found in ductless mini-split heat pumps.
