Winter time is, by far, the least favorite of the seasons for me.
It is simply a fact that I accept and then do my best to manage.
However, given the opportunity, I would transfer far from the Winter time weather and never deal with it again. But, that’s just so not the case. Most of our family is in the area. My wife is certainally close to her clan so, the possibilities of moving south are about zilch. So, when I guess that first chilly wind blow in the fall, I call the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C to come out and service the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C gas furnace. This last time, I was talking with the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C tech about how I felt the gas furnace was overwhelmed a bit. During the coldest parts of the winter, the lake house just never seems to get cozy warm. The Heating, Ventilation, and A/C tech heard me out before he suggested the problem wasn’t the gas furnace at all. He said our gas furnace was in fantastic shape and entirely had another 15 years of optimum performance in it. Our heating and cooling professional suggested that it was the lake house that was not cooperating. Our lake house is an older one and the tech thought that I might start by tightening it up to keep the Heating, Ventilation, and A/C treated air inside. He suggested I use a temperature gun to find the leaks where chilly air is getting in and Heating, Ventilation, and A/C treated air is leaking out. I did just this and was amazed by the results. Not only is the lake house much warmer, I have saved nearly 25 percent thus far on the weekly utility bills.
