I was absolutely shocked at how much treated air was leaking out of my home
I am so frustrated that the furnace seems to run non stop but my home is never really cozy warm during the winter. Well, I just found out when an old college buddy stopped by for the weekend. The night he arrived, we were up late sipping good scotch and telling stories when he complained of being a bit cold. I grabbed him a sweater and explained how frustrated I was by our HVAC situation. This lack of complete warmth had been going on for some time. I have had the furnace checked but it was practically brand new so I didn’t think that was the problem. The HVAC guy simply confirmed that for me. My buddy said he thought he might be able to help me after we went skiing the next day. On the way back from the slopes, my friend asked me stop by the hardware store. He came back with a small bag and a grin on his face. Once we got home, he showed me his purchase. There was a thermal temperature gun in the bag. My buddy said this helped him so much to find the leaks and drafts in his house. I hadn’t even considered that. Our house is fairly new so I thought it was tight. We went outside and started pointing the temp gun over the exterior of my house. I was absolutely shocked at how much treated air was leaking out of my home. I know what I’ll be doing every weekend until I get my home super tight. I’m so thankful to know what the cause of all that cool air is now.
