I live in an part that experiences every kind of weather extreme.
Our winters are long and cold with temperatures down to twenty-multiple below zero, brutal wind chill and at least 4 feet of snow.
The summers don’t last all that long however the heat and humidity are a challenge. The Spring and fall bring a wide variety of rain, wind, hail, sleet and freezing rain. Because of the nearly year-round demands on the furnace and , energy efficiency is always a priority. I consistently look for new and better ways to eliminate energy waste. I don’t want our extravagant heated or cooled air leaking out, and I strive to prevent outside air from finding a way in. I’ve upgraded windows and doors, added installation, installed ceiling fans and properly improved weatherstripping. While I’ve managed to tighten up the house, I’ve also gotten rid of natural ventilation. With no fresh air coming in, the stale air and all sorts of contaminants are trapped inside. Dust, dander, pollen, mold spores, bacteria, viruses and a long list of harmful toxins create a health concern. I noticed the living space was overly dry in the winter, humid in the Summer and there was always an issue with particles floating around and accumulating on surfaces. Unpleasant aromas tended to linger in the air. I finally invested into a dedicated ventilation system. This type of indoor air pollen levels add-on effectively introduces fresh air at all times of year without energy losses. It upgrades the stuffy, polluted air with scrub air. The ventilation plan uses the outgoing air to heat the incoming in the winter, reducing demands on the furnace. It helps to combat moisture in the summer, lessening the workload of the
