There’s an old saying that fish don’t realize they’re wet because it’s all they know. People are the same way when it comes to thinking about the air all around them. Air is a fluid, just like water. Sure, everyone feels the wind, and since the very first shelters, humans have built buildings to block it out. When it comes to stack effect, though, it’s a bit less obvious than the wind, and users probably don’t think much about it. If they did, they woul...
When they discuss home energy savings, they’re typically referring to conventionally constructed homes. However, many Americans live in mobile homes — nearly 10 million to be exact. Mobile home residents deal with many of the same energy and climate control issues as traditional residents, with often even more challenges due to smaller size and exposure to the elements. Many of these challenges arise from a hidden culprit — air duct leakage. Mobile Home A...
No matter what kind of building they own, it’s almost certainly going to have an HVAC system in place. The HVAC system of any building is designed to maintain the indoor air and keep it at a comfortable level. Not only does this mean heating or cooling the air to the level set by whoever is operating the thermostat, but it also means filtering air and keeping the indoor air of the building free from outside pollutants that might contaminate it. Effectiveness of the HVAC system If the HV...

Why is there ductwork at all? Why can’t they just set that HVAC unit in the middle of the home and turn it on? Those that are closest to it will enjoy that conditioned air. And those that are furthest away? They won’t. If they’re not delivering and retrieving air from various spaces, they’re essentially just huddling around a fire like they did thousands of years ago. They've come a long way, and they've learned why quality ductwork matters. What Is Ductwork? Ductwork...

Learn how Aeroseal can help they achieve significant energy savings when it comes to the home's heating and air conditioning syste...
During summer and winter months, energy bills tend to, unsurprisingly, go up as HVAC systems are put to work. However, while small increases are common and nothing to be concerned with, if the utility bill seems unusually high, and the temperature is still uncomfortable, they may have a problem. When a home is using more energy to attempt to heat or cool a home, and it isn’t working, it could be a sign that there are issues with the air ducts in the home. While there are many website...

They’ve probably noticed that they’re not getting the airflow out of the vents that they should be. Maybe they have rooms that are hotter than others. Therefore, the logical conclusion is that not enough air is being pushed through the ducts and into rooms further away from the unit. So, the next logical leap would be that they need a bigger, and more expensive, air conditioner so all that air gets pushed through, right? Well, most likely not. Sure, someone will sell one to them, an...
Walking into a room not knowing anybody can be intimidating, especially if they’re part of a minority.
