Lately we have been enduring a lot of concerns with our property temperature control & temperature control methods.
I should be clear, the greatest problem is our extremely drafty house & accorporationing aged heater, but during the summers our little place stays nice & cool, & we have consistently fresh & high quality indoor air whenever the AC is running.
My associate and I can happily get through the 8 months of hot weather that settles into the area because there is respected ventilation to keep us happy & healthy. In the winter, however, our property easily fails to meet expectations. There is frigid air coming from all the doors & windows, & our old heating system provides uneven uneven temperatures & wild swings. This year we’ve been relying heavily on our wood burning fireplace to compensate for the exhausting heater, especially at evening when the air temperature has been dipping into the 20s. So far this method has successfully saved us from having to call out a professional Heating, Ventilation, & A/C professional to inspect the heating system & charge us thousands of dollars for an replaced central heating unit, but there was one unforeseen hiccup in this plan. My associate and I never considered that my step kid would be spending Christmas with us. My associate and I didn’t feel about the fact that he is currently heavily invested in the myth of Santa Clause. No one considered that he would be upset if a fire was roaring in the fireplace on Christma Eve. None of the adults was quite as anxious about Santa burning his old butt on the flames on the way down, and long story short, after an outburst of hysterical cries, we had quite a chilly Christmas Eve & easily cranked the heat on Christmas afternoon.
