Arizona is widely known for being hot, and for the most part
that assumption is true. But for those
of you who have never experienced a desert winter, it can be bone chilling. Maybe not to those of you from the Midwest or
other snow dumped lands, but definitely for us native Arizonans. You see, when our average temperature during
the summer is consistently over 100 degrees Fahrenheit our ability to withstand
cold falls somewhere in the mid 70s. So,
when the dry air brings in temperatures in the 20s and 30s, we are way outside
our comfort zone.
Regardless of where you are from or where your range of
comfort falls, having a home that stays within that range is important. One of the most effective ways that you can maintain
a consistent temperature throughout your home is making the improvements your
home needs the most. Since every house
is different the same solutions will not solve any issues you may be
experiencing.
For instance, if you have one room that never gets warm in
the winter, turning the thermostat up will not help. Instead you need to
determine what is wrong with the makeup of your home that causes the issue. Maybe your duct work to that room is leaky, or
it is farthest away from HVAC system.
Maybe the insulation for that room is missing or damaged. Although there are many other factors that
could be the cause of uneven room temperatures, these two are the most common, but easily fixed.
Winter is a great time to make home improvements that will
tangibly improve your home for several reasons.
Contractors are usually in their slower season which means lower costs
for your project. Work is completed
faster since installation teams do not have to battle with heat exhaustion. You can also get the home improvements in
before the end of the year for tax purposes.
Not to mention the money you can save on your energy bill sooner.
