Heat, air conditioning, comfort… They’re all the same thing. When the temperatures are unliveable or uncomfortable outside, you rely on your heating or air conditioning system to keep your indoor environment safe and comfy. This is why it’s so important that you keep your heat inside during the winter and spring, and keep the outdoor heat outside during the summer.
Here at Ambient Air Solutions, we’re very concerned with how homes in our area are keeping comfortable temperatures indoors. Sometimes we see overworked heat pumps or other types of heating in Bozeman, MT that just can’t create enough heat for the whole house. If it’s constantly escaping through air ducts, drafty doors and windows, and just isn’t well maintained, that will never change.
So, let’s change it together. We will be brainstorming a few ways to stop heat from escaping your home when you need it the most.
Your Walls, Your Ducts, and Your System
We’re going to focus on three main ways that air can escape from your home. While they might not be specifically tailored to your home, you should get a clearer picture as to how your heating system’s heat is being dispersed and where it could be wasted. Don’t forget, our team can help with all of your heating needs. Just give us a call.
Drafty Doors, Windows, and Walls
Have you ever been to an old home where the owner put plastic wrap on the windows? Or perhaps you’ve seen those nifty door stoppers that plug up the gap between an old door and the floor? These are all ways for a homeowner to combat leaking heat that might escape through drafty windows, walls, doors, and other areas of your home.
It’s a good idea to locate some problematic areas of your house and then report back to us. Where does it always feel cold no matter what temperature you set on the thermostat? If cold spots are an issue, learn more from our guide to bracing freezing temperatures to ensure your home stays warm even during the harshest conditions. Does your basement always feel cold no matter what? We promise that our attention to detail can help curb wasted heat and get to the bottom of the problem.
Air Ducts
Did you know that our team provides air duct modifications? This is because we’ve seen many homeowners struggle with their air ducts constantly leaking air. If air ducts are leaking up to 30% of your heated air, this can seriously undermine your system’s efficiency. This is especially problematic if you rely on gas heating. To avoid costly issues, review 4 things that can go wrong with gas furnaces to stay on top of potential problems. Call our team so we can inspect your air ducts and figure out what needs to be done.
Your Heating System
So you’ve checked your drafty doors and windows and your air ducts, and you still can’t figure out why your home feels cold and why heat just isn’t permeating through it. Well, the answer could be right under your nose.
A heating system might sound or seem like it’s working correctly, but if your home still isn’t heating properly, it could mean your system is in need of repairs or replacement. For more guidance, explore what goes on during furnace replacement to see if a new system might be the best solution for your heating needs. Either way, our team can help.
