BRRRRR … RECORD LOW TEMPS ARE NOT SOMETHING YOU … OR YOUR HOME ENJOY.

YOU ARE LIKELY EXPERIENCING SOME STRANGE THINGS IN YOUR HOME LIKE FROST IN PLACES … ON THE INSIDE!

OR CONDENSATION ON A TILED FLOOR! THESE ARE DEFINITELY NOT NORMAL … ON A NORMAL DAY.

IT IS NORMAL TO PANIC A BIT … BUT GOOD NEWS …. IT WON’T LAST AND THERE IS A LOGICAL REASON FOR IT. HOMES IN THIS REGION OF THE COUNTRY ARE DESIGNED TO A TEMPERATURE BAND THAT COVERS THE LARGE MAJORITY OF THE WEATHER/TEMPS EXPERIENCED IN THIS REGION. THIS WOULD INCLUDE INSULATION LEVELS, WINDOWS, HEATING AND COOLING, ETC. OUR BUILDING CODES RECOGNIZE THAT THERE ARE GOING TO BE LIMITED TIMES THAT THE TEMPS MAY RISE ABOVE WHAT YOUR AC IS RATED FOR AND IT WILL STRUGGLE. ALSO, THERE WILL BE TIMES THAT THE TEMPS WILL DIP BELOW WHAT YOUR FURNACE OR WALL INSULATION IS DESIGNED FOR.

YOU MAY THINK, WHY NOT JUST DESIGN IT FOR 100% OF POTENTIAL OCCURRENCES? THINK CO$T. MOST PEOPLE DON’T INCREASE THE SIZE OF THEIR HOME FOR THE TWO TIMES A YEAR THAT THEY MAY HAVE TWENTY PEOPLE OVER FOR THE HOLIDAYS.

IF YOU BELIEVE YOU MAY HAVE AN ISSUE THAT GOES BEYOND THIS, PLEASE LET US KNOW AND IF YOU’RE NOT HEADED TO SOME PLACE WARM, BUNDLE UP AND BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!

OLD MAN WINTER WILL BE GONE BEFORE YOU KNOW IT!
