I am so frustrated that the furnace seems to run non stop but our beach house is never legitimately cozy hot during the winter.
- Well, I just found out when an old college friend stopped by for the weekend.
The night he arrived, the people I was with and I were up late sipping wonderful 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 up-to-date so I didn’t guess that was the problem. The HVAC guy simply confirmed that for me. My friend said he thought he might be able to help myself and others after the people I was with and I made the decision to go skiing the next morning. On the way back from the slopes, our friend asked myself and others stop by the hardware store. He came back with a small tote and a grin on his face. Once the people I was with and I got home, he showed myself and others his purchase. There was a thermal temperature gun in the bag. My friend said this helped him so much to find the leaks and drafts in his house. I hadn’t even considered that. Our beach house is fairly up-to-date so I thought it was tight. All of us went outside and started pointing the temp gun over the exterior of our house. I was legitimately shocked at how much treated air was leaking out of our home. I think what I’ll be doing every weekend until I get our beach house super tight. I’m so thankful to think what the cause of all that cool air is now.
