Man, that heating leak in my lake house just drove me crazy.
- I just couldn’t find it.
The two of us live in an older lake house plus with older houses come drafts. This was something I knew before we bought this house… And drafts just kill the efficiency of even the easily latest in residential Heating, Ventilation & A/C plus gas oil furnace Heating, Ventilation & A/C technology. And we live in a region where there is almost 6 weeks of Winter plus that is not an exaggeration. The cost of Heating, Ventilation & A/C heating is high enough separate from having a drafty lake house to make it worse, however so when we bought the locale, I had the windows substituted with double paned windows. The two of us also added some insulation in the attic along with a new roof that was added by the seller before it went on the market, but i put in some drastic storm doors plus the best weather stripping I could buy. All of my efforts were aimed at making a cozy space for my family plus reducing the cost of Heating, Ventilation & A/C heating! Yet, despite my best efforts, I still have that dang draft. And I scoured the lake house to find it but it took a going to see friend to show me where it was. Actually, she showed me an instant read thermal gun plus it found the problem. That thermal gun was what finally lead me to find the culprit when it came to my Heating, Ventilation & A/C heating cost. Ironically, it was 1 of the windows I had had substituted; But that window had not been properly insulated plus that was the problem. The window supplier got an earful from me before they corrected the problem. This Winter will be saving even more on Heating, Ventilation & A/C heating cost.
