“People buy homes because of granite countertops. They sell them because of home comfort issues.”
HVAC professionals tell us this all the time and we hate to hear it. Your home is the most valuable investment in your life and a place where countless memories with your family and friends are made. So, we think it’s just plain wrong that people are sweating bullets or shaking from the cold in their own homes.
The cause of this discomfort is how your traditional HVAC system works - or doesn’t work - to keep you comfortable. Your home’s HVAC system is part of the infrastructure that’s the backbone of your home, and all too often it’s overlooked when it comes time to make some home improvements. We think HVAC deserves a little love, so we’ve launched a series of blog posts to share information about how HVAC works. If you’d like to learn more about how your home works, and what you can do to avoid having an uncomfortable home, you’ll want to read this. There will be seven blog posts in this series and you can explore what we’ve published below.
