Better Temperature Control

Friday, January 6th, 2012

It can be very difficult to keep every room in a home at a comfortable temperature.  Heat rises upstairs, leaving the main floor cool and second floor bedrooms hot.  Cool air settles into the basement.  Windows to the south soak up the sun, while harsh winds cool the north side of the house.

Add some of today’s most desired home design features, and the problem gets worse.  Large glass expanses, cathedral ceilings, solariums, lofts – they all can cause temperatures to vary dramatically from one part of a house to the next.  Expecting one thermostat in a single room to control all this is asking the impossible.

Aprilaire Ventilator Working

Thursday, January 5th, 2012

The Aprilaire Energy Recovery Ventilator makes use of your home’s existing heating or air-conditioning duct system to distribute fresh air throughout your home.  The outgoing polluted air stream and the incoming fresh air stream both pass through the exclusive Energy-Max Transfer Core.  The air then passes by each other separated by thin walls that allow only the air’s energy to be transferred, cutting your heating and cooling bills.

Poor Air Quality Causes

Saturday, December 31st, 2011

In an effort to save energy costs, new homes are being better sealed to prevent indoor air from escaping.  Energy efficient windows and doors with double weather stripping are being installed in both new homes and older homes that are being remodeled.  Insulation is thicker and the use of air-tight vapor barriers is more prevalent.  Better caulk is sealing up cracks and other potential air leaks.  While all this has made many homes more efficient, saving both energy and money, it has also made it nearly impossible for these homes to “breathe” – to expel stale, polluted indoor air and exchange it for cleaner, fresher outdoor air.
