Living in Elgin, IL, the weather is a year round difficulty, and winters are especially long, snowy & windy with temperatures steadily below chilly & often below zero, however summers are brutally sizzling & humid with temperatures officially soaring into the eighties.
- The boiler trades off with the air conditioner, & the utility costs add up suddenly, then last winter, the heating system seemed to run non stop & yet the condo felt cold.
Specific rooms were especially chilly & turning up the temperature control didn’t help much, but initially, I uneasy there was a problem with the heating unit. The boiler is only a couple of years old, & I’ve been conscientious about replacing the filters & scheduling service. When I called the Heating & A/C supplier in Elgin who installed the boiler for repairs, he serviced the air duct, but he discovered that separations at the seams & tiny holes were allowing nearly thirty percent of the heated air to leak out; Because the maximum amount of air wasn’t reaching the intended endpoint, it was forcing the boiler to run longer, work harder & consume more energy. I am sure the cool air from the air conditioner was escaping throughout the previous summer time as well. With the air duct concealed inside the walls, I had no idea how the problem could be fixed. The professional explained a process called Aeroseal, where pressurized air is sent into the air duct. The vents are clogged off, which results in the air seeping out through the imperfections. The air is laced with adhesive polymer particles that stick to the edges & gradually create an airslim seal. The Aeroseal process is non-invasive, quick & effective. It took numerous hours & is guaranteed for ten years.
