I knew there was a draft in our condo and I also knew that it was a pretty significant.
But for the first 2 Winters that my pal and I lived in this house, I was still pretty stupid when it came to preparing a condo for Winter.
I’m not stupid in general but more honestly about all the stuff that goes with a real Winter. I’m from the deep south where winter is a time where you may have to put on long pants and a blazer. But that would be a dire case of cold. The only thing I ever discussed when it came to the Heating and A/C was the cooling part of that acronym; Heating was not something I knew anything about. My buddy and I had to move up here for my wifey’s task and will be here another few years it looks like. I honestly didn’t know what I was doing when it came to the gas boiler or getting the condo ready for Winter. Like I did at home, I called the Heating and A/C professionals to schedule Heating and A/C maintenance. Thankfully, the Heating and A/C worker helped me understand how to help myself when it came to lowering our heating costs. I just had to follow the step in order to seal the condo up honestly well! Once I did that properly, the source of the major draft became totally evident. It turned out to be that one of the new, double paned windows was installed without any sort of insulation. Once that was buttoned up, there was zero drafty feeling in the house. Along with the winter prep, sealing that draft source turned our condo into a toasty spot this winter and my pal and I saved a ton on heating expenses.
