Living in Springtimefield, Missouri, means exposure to a wide range of weather extremes; The average temperature climbs into the mid eighties for four straight months with brutal humidity.
- We also experience temperatures below chilly for approximately five months.
We switch between running the boiler as well as relying on the cooling system with a truly brief cut in-between. There are times when it’s necessary to run the heating system at evening as well as start up the cooling system during the afternoon. To reduce utility bills, I’ve made an effort to tighten up the home, and i’ve replaced the insulation in the attic, caulked around the windows as well as carefully added weatherstripping to the front as well as back doors, sealing the thermal envelope helps to reduce energy losses as well as the workload of the boiler as well as cooling system, but unblessedly, this also eliminates natural ventilation. In South Bend, it’s rarely possible to open the windows as well as let in some fresh air; Because of this, the loft becomes rather stale as well as stuffy, contaminants such as dust, dander, pollen as well as all sorts of toxins get trapped inside as well as continually circulated by the heating as well as cooling system, everything from the air duct to pets, cleaning products as well as personal hygiene products contribute to complications with indoor air quality. It seemed my kids were getting sick all too frequently. I was having problems with headaches as well as insomnia! My partner’s pollen irritations were frustrated, then disinfecting surfaces as well as vacuuming weren’t solving the complications. I finally consulted with an Heating as well as A/C contractor in South Bend as well as asked for recommendations. I ended up having an media media air cleaner installed. This upgrade works to kill bacteria as well as viruses as well as capture allergens. It has made a big improvement in the health as well as cleanliness of the living environment.
