Our air quality becomes cause for concern.
The weather in Albuquerque is difficult… The winters bring nighttime temperatures in the low twenties and daytime highs only up to the mid forties… Every one of us continually get dustings of snow and occasional storms can drop a foot on us overnight. It’s not unfamiliar to require the oil furnace for over several months, however our summers are harshly hot,with temperature climbing correctly into the mid nineties. One of the most aggravating parts of the conditions in Albuquerque is there are frequent mornings when the nighttime temperatures are chilly enough to need heating and the daytime heat requires cooling. Every one of us might run the air conditioner and the oil furnace during the same 24-hour span. There is genuinely seldom an option to go without either heating or cooling. I am always thrilled when I can open the windows and welcome in fresh air, however because of the high cost of temperature control, it’s necessary to maintain a tightly sealed thermal envelope. I’ve caulked, weatherstripped and insulated to prevent energy waste, while our efforts have helped to reduce expenses, I’ve also eliminated natural ventilation. The living space can abruptly become stale and stuffy. Contaminants such as dust, dander, mold spores, VOCs and unpleasant smells get trapped inside and distributed by the heating and cooling system. Our air quality becomes cause for concern. I have solved this concern by investing into a ventilation system. The add-on accessory works to introduce a constant supply of fresh air into the beach house without energy waste. I chose a heat reusey ventilator that uses the outgoing air to preheat the incoming air and reduce the workload of the oil furnace.
